Bananas in Pyjamas new iPhone app review and DVD giveaway!

On Wednesday there were 2 new Bananas in Pyjamas apps for the iPhone released and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to review them.

The girls love Bananas in Pyjamas (even though they drive me bonkers with their 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1? I think I am B2') but it's just a bit of fun.

We had a quick play of the apps after we downloaded them and they are very simple even for my 2 year old to use.

 The first one is called Beach Fun which you can squirt sunscreen all over the bananas faces (which makes a funny sound) then rub it in, pick what hats and sunglasses for them to wear (pirate hats, sombreros and Dame Edna style glasses are some of the options) and build sandcastles to decorate with shells, sticks, flags and leaves. The cost of this app is $1.99. I think my girls liked the sunscreen the best for the sound it makes and getting to rub it in. They also like how their choices are often 'bananariffic' when choosing items.

The second one is Say Cheese which, as it sounds, involves the use of the iPhone camera. First you choose the border you want to use between 11 options including a birthday and a Christmas theme. Then take the photo of what you want in the frame and decorate it with 'stickers'. You can then send the photos like any normal picture taken with the iPhone camera. This app costs $2.99. This would be a good one for use through out the year, they could send Christmas Banana pictures of them to their friends (parents iPhones) to wish them a happy Christmas and the same goes on birthdays

The girls really put the test this morning while we were out having a meal, they took turns doing a Banana each with the sunscreen and decorating which kept them entertained until the food arrived. I think the best ages for it would be between 2 - 5 year olds as over 5's would probably get bored with the games very quickly.

If you want to download these new apps click on the titles of them to take you to them in the app store.

Thanks to ABC for Kids via Digital Parents I have a copy of Bananas in Pyjamas "The Magic Trick" DVD to give away! It's very easy to enter, all you need to do is leave a comment or send me an email at bubmoo@y7mail.com with your answer to this question. If you have downloaded one of the apps what is your child's favourite part of it or what is your child's favourite episode of the Bananas in Pyjamas series on the ABC?

Chance plays no part in this competition so be creative, one entry per household, entries close 25th December 2011 the winner will be announced one the blog 26th December.

Disclosure: I received complimentary downloads of the Bananas in Pyjamas iPhone apps and a giveaway copy of Bananas in Pyjamas "The Magic Trick" DVD courtesy of ABC for Kids via Digital Parents. No financial payment was offered nor accepted for this post. All opinions expressed are purely my own.

**The winner is Racheal Knusden. My 4 year old decided the winner as she also loves the fruit salad episode and is now sleep walking around my lounge! Here's Racheals answer:
My kids favourite episode of Banana’s is the mystery of the disappearing fruit salad! Hayden thinks its hilarious watching Morgan go into the Banana’s house and pinch the fruit salad out of their fridge every night!


Congrats Racheal and hope your kids enjoy The Magic Trick DVD!
