Disney Junior’s “Yo Ho, Let’s Go Summer!” {Free Apps}

 

 

clip_image001Disney Junior is gearing up for another “Yo Ho, Let’s Go Summer!” with some fun activities planned. In addition to new episodes of favorite Disney Junior series premiering all summer long, DisneyJunior.com will be launching a summer supersite featuring new games and photo activities for kids and their parents. There’s even a chance for some of the photos you submit to be featured on-air!

Disney Junior has recently released two new apps- “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally Appisode,” the first in a series of interactive Disney Junior Appisodes to be released this year, and “Jake’s Never Land Pirate School,” a new gaming app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Both apps are free and can be found in the iTunes app store.

I downloaded both of these apps to my iPad last night at about 8pm and then let my kids stay up an extra hour past bedtime because they wanted to check them out and I couldn't' get them to put the iPad down! I haven’t actually seen the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse appisode myself however I did watch my 3 1/2 year old daughter play Jake’s Never Land Pirate School this morning while sitting on the side of my computer chair and while she did need a little bit of explanation for a few of the games she loved it. She LOVES both Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Never Land Pirates so this was a huge treat for her!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Road Rally appisode brings viewing, learning and interaction together into one cohesive, fun-filled iPad experience.   Fans 2-7 years old can touch, tap shake, swipe, drag and talk through an entire episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  The activities presented in the "appisode" include valuable counting, critical thinking and problem solving skills.  This is the first in a series of Disney Junior Appisodes to be released this year.
