Clifford’s BE BIG with Words

If you’ve got 2 minutes

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
World travel may not be in your budget this season, but your little explorer can still zip-line through the Amazon and scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef with a pass to wonderrotunda.com (one month, $12; one year, $45), an educational website for kids ages 7 to 12 that takes them around the world from the comfort of the couch. The site asks and answers questions along the way, too (“What makes an animal a marsupial?”), making the trips learning vacations. Kids can have access immediately after you order online.

JUST THE APPS, MA’AM
You can download these just-for-kids iPhone and iTouch apps from iTunes.com while Junior’s brushing his teeth on Christmas morning.

Oregon Trail (ages 10 and up, $6) Trade, hunt and cross rivers along the trail, just like in the popular computer game.

Clifford’s BE BIG with Words (ages 3 and up, $2) Early readers can build spelling, phonics and vocabulary skills, as they spell words and are rewarded with pictures showing the words’ meanings.

Wheels on the Bus (ages 2–5, $3) Tots can listen to the classic song in five languages while moving parts of a cartoon bus on screen.
