Potty training is one of those phases every parent dreads. But it’s something every parent must soldier through until the child is ready for the toilet seat. The reward is a child who no longer needs their diapers changed every time they go number 1 or 2! There are several techniques to potty training. Using a plastic potty is one of the more common ones these days. These potties come with the mess that follows after a potty training session.

The Pourty potty also features a larger and wider seating area than most conventional potties. This results in a more comfortable seat for both girls and boys. The back rest does a good job of supporting your toddler while he’s doing his business in the Pourty.

The humble Apple iPad is a great entertainment as well as educational tool for kids young and old. It can keep kids entertained for hours with apps that can keep their attention. Peekaboo Barn is one such app.

Peekaboo Barn from Night & Day Studios is a colourful app that revolves around barnyard animals that hide in a wee little barn. Only to magically come out when your little one opens the barn door. The interactivity of opening the door and being rewarded with the sound of the animal followed by its name is what makes this app our recommendation today.

I know from experience that my one year toddler loves it right from when the intro plays “Peekaboooo Baarn”. She’s filled with smiles and the look of excitement is well worth the US$1.99 we paid for the iPad version. The thrill of opening the barn door to reveal the animal making their distinct noise is too much to pass for our little one.

The main premise of Peekaboo Barn app is to learn the names of various animals and the sounds they make; and have fun while doing it! Some animals are everyday animals your little probably sees on a day to day basis. While others he might see at a real barn or zoo. The Peekaboo Barn app helps them recognise these animals in real life.

To top it off, Peekaboo Barn is customisable. You can record your own voices instead of the pre-recorded voices thereby adding a personal touch to the app. You can even change the names of the animals to recognisable ones, such as your pet’s name, or the animal’s name in a different language. Speaking of languages, Peekaboo Barn comes with a few. More languages can be purchased as add-ons. However, you can always record your own.

Featured by Apple, Peekaboo Barn doesn’t fail to impress us as parents of young kids. The Peekaboo Barn app is available from the Apple App Store in various versions. There’s the Peekaboo Barn for iPad, Peekaboo Barn for iPhone, and Peekaboo Barn for Android. If you’d like to try before you buy, there’s the Peekaboo Barn Lite.
