Since I started reviewing the new Samsung Galaxy S III through the Verizon Midwest Savvy Moms program I’ve been doing all the things I could never do before with a Blackberry. I’ve been downloading tons of cute app’s for the kids. One of my favorite companies that makes apps is Oceanhouse Media. They have some great app’s, including many Dr. Seuss titles like the one below, “What was I scared of?" You can get them for super cheap if you keep an eye out for sales. It’s a great value considering how much entertainment it provides the kids. My 4 year old is able to practice his ABC’s with the apps I got for him and my 2 year old loves the Dr. Seuss books.
Here are 4 cute Halloween apps that your kids are sure to love!

Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Midwest Savvy Moms program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. I also received some of the above apps from Oceanhouse Media to facilitate this post.
