Ranger Rick's Tree House is a fun, interactive magazine app for kids

As a kid, I liked reading Ranger Rick magazine at my school library. So it?s fun that Ranger Rick is still around for my own kids to read ? and now there?s even a Ranger Rick app, Ranger Rick?s Tree House, which is a lot like the magazine but with the interaction that today?s kids have become used to on tablet devices.

The app interface looks like you?re inside a tree house with Ranger Rick. Read articles about wildlife with interactive touch-screen features like listening to sounds and answering trivia questions. Watch wildlife videos, poke around in the backyard to learn about animals or guess the animals hiding in the mystery closet.

Each issue also has main features:

- Games: Do puzzles and play interactive ?swiping? games featuring wildlife. My three-year-old loves to play them!

- Badges: Ranger Rick?s Tree House offers kids the chance to earn virtual badges. I don?t know of any other app geared for kids that tells kids if they want a badge they have to log 3 hours and 30 minutes of outdoor activities! (That would be the Nature Ninja badge. So fun!)

The National Wildlife Federation provided me the chance to review the interactive issues for free. All opinions and silliness are my own.
