As a mother of a budding truck aficionado, researching all the different types of construction trucks and vehicles we spotted each week became quite a task. Here is a cheat sheet list of the types of construction trucks, vehicles and diggers to help you and your little one identify the more common types of heavy equipment next time you spot a construction site. Save it on your phone or print it out, and don’t let your toddler leave home without this legend and list of the types of construction trucks!

Der findes mange fordomme over for ældre mennesker. En klassisk fordom er den med, at gamle mennesker synes nymoderne teknologi er spild af tid og at det absolut ikke er noget børn bør beskæftige sig med. Og tænker man tilbage på sin egen barndom, ja så var der jo knap nok fjernsyn og slet ikke internet, da. Men tiderne ændre sig hele tiden og det ved bedsteforældre udmærket godt, selvom nogle måske synes det er lidt farligt med alle de skrækhistorier om virus og andre djævle på internettet.
Er man en af dem, som stadig er lidt skeptisk over for børne apps, så skulle man prøve at spille 100 Gravemaskiner eller 100 Dyr fra Landet sammen med sit barnebarn. Det vil få en til at tænke på de gode gamle dage, hvor man fik læst historier op, mens man hyggede i bedstemors selskab. Continue Reading
En un nuevo estudio de 100 Things, el 70% de los padres están de acuerdo en que la posibilidad de compra que ofrecen algunas aplicaciones de forma enmascarada para seguir jugando no es apropiada en aquellas desarrolladas especialmente para niños. Los padres han demostrado su desagrado al ser engañados por apps anunciadas como “gratis” que contienen partes del juego bloqueadas sino se paga una cierta cantidad de dinero.
Muchas aplicaciones están pensadas para el niño pueda jugar, a veces, sin la supervisión de sus padres. Pero, en las apps que contienen posibilidad de compra para poder seguir jugando, se presiona a los niños de forma directa a pagar cuando sus padres no están supervisándolos. Tal como descubrió una madre canadiense, este tipo de apps pueden crear un gran impacto negativo para la economía familiar. Continue Reading
Si has leído anteriormente nuestro blog, sabrás que nos gustan los gráficos y no nos gustan los anuncios en las apps para niños. Por lo tanto, hemos decidido que lo mejor sería combinar ambas cosas! Hemos elaborado un gráfico basado en un estudio sobre apps para niños que incluyen publicidad. Básicamente, entrevistamos a padres y educadores para conocer sus inquietudes acerca de las apps para niños con anuncios.
Debajo está la gráfica que recoge los resultados del estudio. Continue Reading
En un reciente estudio de Google Consumer realizado a 200 padres y abuelos de Estados Unidos, se detectó que el 66% de los encuestados están preocupados por los anuncios que están presentes en muchas de las aplicaciones para niños. El estudio fue realizado por 100 Things – una compañía que desarrolla Apps educativas para niños pequeños.
Muchos desarrolladores de Apps tienen como negocio ofrecer Apps gratis pero incluyendo publicidad en sus juegos. El estudio muestra claramente la preocupación de padres y abuelos al haber dejado a niños pequeños jugando con este tipo de aplicaciones con anuncios.
Puedes leer los resultados del estudio o ver el gráfico que se muestra a continuación:
100 Things prefiere que los padres paguen para adquirir sus aplicaciones antes que exponer a los niños a anuncios no adecuados para su edad mientras están jugando. Continue Reading
