Hannah – like us adults – goes through phases where she’ll get really excited about a fun new toy or object every now and then. About a year ago, it was the ingenious “Where’s My Water” on the iPad. For the last fortnight, it’s been a Disney interactive feature based on its successful Mickey Mouse Clubhouse TV series. The game is a pretty hefty download at nearly half a gig, but since its release a few months ago, remains a free app on the iTunes store.
The app has several segments that sees Hannah interacting using the touch screen and motion sensors. The entire show takes about half an hour each time or so from my best guess to play through, and Hannah has still yet to get tired of it even after having completed it at least a dozen times now. In fact, she loves the characters so much that I’ve also started renting a bunch of episodes from the TV series too. At about the right time too, since we’ve just finished our second complete viewing through the about 100 episodes of Stargate Atlantis, and Ling remarked that we should start borrowing children’s cartoons for Hannah to watch. I limit her playtime on the iPad or TV to about half an hour each evening though (for the rest of each evening, she’ll be pleading for more!).
While waiting for the MacBook Pro Retina to arrive – at this moment it’s still stuck at some DHL warehouse in Shanghai – I’ve been looking at children’s operating systems to load up onto the MSI Wind for Hannah to start using. Still deciding which of the numerous Linux distributions to use!
