How to get the free kids apps
This bit’s easy! We’ve now set up a mobile view option for everyone reading NurtureStore on a phone, which should make it easier and nicer for you to read the site from your device. Let me know what you think of the new format. You still have the option at the bottom of your screen to view in the old format if you prefer, but I can see from my site stats that lots of you are loving the new format already and using it to check out lots of our ideas each time you visit.
If you’re reading on an iPhone or iPod Touch you can download the NurtureStore free kids app in two clicks!
Tap the icon with the arrow, then select ‘Add to Home Screen’. That’s it!
You’ve now got our little house icon on your screen, ready and waiting for you any time you need a kids activity idea. When you get an ‘I’m bored!’, or it starts raining and you’re stuck indoors, or you’re planning your week ahead and looking for some fun ideas for the kids… we’re right on your phone, ready and waiting for you!
NurtureStore has over 800 kids activities already on the site, so you’ll have a fantastic resource of ideas to call on. You can easily use the top menu (which has a search box) or click on the categories to find what you’re looking for.
Try it out! Pop one of the NurtureStore free kids apps on your phone and give it a trial. I hope you’ll find it a super resource to use – let me know what you think!
Can’t wait to get this on to my iPad!
Is the app going to be made available on android.
We’re looking into that Linda, but for the time being it’s only available for iPhones and iPod Touch.
🙁
How long before we can get it in an IPad?
For the time being it’s just for iPhone and iPod Touch, but I’ll let you know if that changes Kim. Thanks for your interest!
Thank you, this is going to be great!
Glad you like it Brandee – thanks!
Aww This is awesome. But my 11 month old used my iPhone as a teether and it’s broken. And it won’t download to my iPad 🙁
Oh no Crystal, your poor phone! (The app’s only available for iPhone and iPod Touch at the moment.)
I couldn’t find it. I tried NurtureStore, Nurture Store. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Cheryl, are you viewing this site from an iPhone or iPod touch? If you are, the option will pop up for you, as in the screen shots above – no need to search for anything.
Would love to have this app on my Ipad!
Um, hello! Where was I when all this was happening? Cool! So excited to check it out 🙂 Love that you are now in print and an app, Cathy!!
It’s all go here Chrissy!
How exciting! I need as much inspiration as I can find… thank you! I love your website and I am going to order the gardening one tomorrow… something easy and fun about using help tools online rather than in a book… somehow I get more inspiration from your webpage despite having oodles of books her to inspire me.
Thanks charli – you made my day! I hope you enjoy the ideas in the Garden Classroom. I’d love to hear if you try any of them. Cathy
Can’t wait for it to be available for iPad!!
Hi seem to be having problem. Site will not down load to my iphone can you help ? Jane
Hi Jane. The app option pops-up automatically when you visit NurtureStore on an iPhone, but if you happen to have dismissed the option screen and would like to get it back you can just clear your cache and it will re-appear. To do this you need to 1. Go into Settings on your iPhone 2. Select Safari 3. Click on Clear History 4. Click on Clear Cookies and Data. Then, when you next visit NurtureStore, the app option will pop up for you to download. Thanks for you interest in the app!
I can’t get anything to pop up on your site to download the app. 🙁 I’m using my iPhone but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
