• ‘appy Kids

  The explosion of Apps over recent years has been incredible and there is a huge range of them about.  They’re cheap, fun and easy to find. There’s even plenty of them around that are free.  Compared to xBox/PS3/Wii games, they are such good value for money (well, not all of them).  As a parent I’m…
