Curious George Town App Review + Prize Pack Giveaway
Our kids are always on our phones or iPads playing games. As a parent, I prefer our kids play games that are both educational and fun and I’m always excited when I discover a new app for them to explore. Let me introduce you to the Curious George’s Town App! Curious George’s Town App for the iPad and iPhone was developed for preschool to kindergarten-aged children.
The Curious George Town App aims to teach children smart saving and spending habits while engaging kids in creating a virtual world complete with roller coasters, dinosaurs and farm animals. Children accomplish real-world and in-app challenges and earn virtual coins they can use to purchase a variety of items to create their very own town. Based on the principle of deferred gratification, the app introduces the concepts of strategic planning and careful spending in order to accomplish a goal.
The Curious George Town App features a unique reward chart that parents and caregivers can customize by assigning a specific value to a list of real-world tasks, such as cleaning up toys. Kids can also supplement their stockpile of virtual savings by tackling in-app educational games such as alphabetizing books at Curious George’s library and collecting the correct items at the grocery store. Guided and narrated by the convivial Man with the Yellow Hat, the fun and engaging app also reinforces concepts like correct spelling, reading and matching.
My 5 year old really enjoyed playing the Curious George Town App! It was easy for him to understand and he didn’t really need any guidance when playing the game. In fact, he kept showing me what he built and what new item he purchased. This is definitely a good app for you to have on your iPhone or iPad for kids!

My favorite story growing up was the book where George swallowed the puzzle piece and met the little girl in the hospital.
Thanks!
I like the story about his trip to the zoo
I love watching Curious George with my twin granddaughters. They LOVE him!
I always felt a bit sorry for The Man in the Yellow Hat who had to follow up on George’s antics!
My favorite Curious George story is Curious George and the rocket
I have always loved watching this show George is just too cute I would love to win this one and the fist day of school is a super cute book.

I remember my first grade teacher introducing us to curious George and the man in the yellow hat.
Curious George goes to the hospital, because he ate a puzzle piece – thought it was candy – Perfect story for my daughter who has been getting into things, like candy… and not asking.

I never really read Curious George growing up; I hope to change that for my daughter

One of my first Curious George Books was Curious George Goes to the Hospital. I read it while I was in the hospital as a kid. The series has been a favorite ever since.
This website was… how do you say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something that helped me. Thank you!
