Create Books for Free on iPhone
I am excited because I finally found an iphone application I actually would use with my kids. The International Children's Digital Library has released a StoryKit application that allows you to create books on your iphone. It is free, easy to use, and allows you to upload photos, draw pictures, add text and record voice.
Despite the fact that I don't even have an iphone, I now envisage buying one and taking photos from recent trips and turning them into talking photo albums with the kids. Maybe make a short story for my children, Natty and Sassy, about their lives so far. They can even help create their own stories, choosing the photos and doing the voice over themselves.
