Description from Amazon:
If Rembrandt and Picasso had smartphones as kids, Learning to Draw is Fun would have been their favorite app. If you want to teach your kids how to draw, try this easy and fun app. Learning to Draw is Fun allows kids to try their hand at 20 different pictures, and then gives them a full color palette to finish their masterpiece.

Art School on Your Android Device
First, the budding artist chooses which design to draw. Learning to Draw is Fun features twenty cute pictures including a butterfly, snowman, pig, flower, and birthday cake. The artist then follows four easy steps to reproduce the picture. You can erase the picture at any time.

Artsy Tools
Once the picture is done, the child can go to a full color palette to finish the picture. Choose from 15 different colors with six different brush stroke sizes.

Share the picture through e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter, or set it as a wallpaper. You can also get the details of the picture's file size and resolution within the app.

Warning: This app may inspire your child to become an art major. But at least your kid won't be drawing on the living room wall.

Description from Amazon:
It's glow time! Play an illuminated version of Tic Tac Toe with this classic game for your Android device. Glow Tic Tac Toe features smart, simple gameplay and a distinctive look that's easy on the eyes. Challenge a partner or take on the computer--you'll find yourself playing again and again.

Go With the Glow
You've played plenty of Tic Tac Toe in your life, of course, but not like this. Neon-like graphics make the game board seemingly leap from your screen, offering a fresh, newly entertaining experience with this age-old favorite.

What makes Glow Tic Tac Toe really stand out, though, is what's under the hood. The game's AI (artificial intelligence) adapts to your playing style and makes moves that are highly unpredictable. So even if you don't have a friend nearby to play with, you can enjoy a consistently challenging experience that evolves with each game.

In addition, the AI's skill level can be adjusted on the fly, in the middle of a game. There are three difficulty levels to choose from, so you can crank up the challenge while you're playing--or bring it down a notch if you get cornered.

Minimum Operating System: Android 2.0

Description from Amazon:
Bring the fun and accessibility of flick football to your Android device with this casual sports title from PikPok Games. Try to make kicks from different angles and distances, and even take into account shifting wind speeds and directions. Choose from Sudden Death, Arcade, Time Attack, and Practice modes, then use the intuitive flick controls to begin playing right away. Easy to pick up but hard to put down, this classic time-killer is sure to appeal to casual gamers and die-hard football fans alike.

Gameplay
In Flick Kick Field Goal, players take on the role of a field goal kicker on a football team as they try to make kicks of varying difficulty through the goalposts at the end of the field. Pick one of four different game modes: Practice, Sudden Death, Arcade, or Time Attack, and try out Flick Kick Field Goal's intuitive control system to begin making kicks like a pro.

To make a kick, simply line your finger up with the football and flick the touchscreen in the direction of the goalposts. Not every kick is straightforward though: experiment with curving left or right in your followthrough, or give a longer swipe to kick the ball further. Find the technique that works for you, then adjust each kick to account for changing windspeeds and angles.

Challenging Conditions
To add to the difficulty, factor in winds that can come from any angle or change severity with each kick. Anything from a light breeze to gale force winds must be taken into account if you want to succeed.

Online Scores and Achievements
Flick Kick Field Goal features online leaderboards and achievements with OpenFeint support. Rack up the points and then post your newest scores to Flick Kick's global leaderboards. Think you're good? Show off your skills online as you compete against others for the top spot!

Multiple Game Modes
Sudden Death
Challenge your concentration with this classic test of skill. Score as many field goals as possible without missing a kick. With no time limit given, just focus and keep making kicks to add multipliers to your score.

Arcade Mode
Make three kicks at eight different positions. Adjust your aim to score as many points as possible, then use the third kick at each position to score additional bonus points. Keep making successful field goals to build up a score multiplier, but watch out for changes in wind strength and direction: you'll need nerves of steel to keep that multiplier going under pressure!

Time Attack
Score as many goals as possible within the given time limit in this quickfire flick kicking challenge. As each successful field goal adds on bonus time, you'll have to keep cool and maintain steady aim to rack up a new highscore.

Practice Mode
Take the pressure of scores and time limits off your shoulders as you perfect your technique and learn how to become the best flick kicker in the world.

Key Features
Simple and intuitive flick controls make it easy to pick up and begin play
Challenging gameplay with shifting windspeeds and target distances
Loading screens with famous football quotes and trivia
Roaring crowds and full 3D graphics bring a new level of realism to flick football
Compete against others through OpenFeint online scoring and achievements

Draw(er) Pro is a sketching and drawing app with a twist. The various tools give you a new perspective on drawing, so your basic lines turn into works of art. Set colors and brush sizes, undo and redo as needed, save and share your sketches, and much more.

Gather your Artist's Tools
Setting up your canvas and paint colors isn't just a matter of clicking a color picker. Choose hue, saturation, and lightness settings, just as you would in professional image manipulation software. Smooth your drawing's edges with automatic anti-aliasing, and set up your brush size before you begin your latest masterpiece.

Play Creatively
Turn simple lines into chains of circles and squares. Apply sketched effects, fur, webbing, and shading. Erase just a bit or undo a lot--and redo if you've undone too much. Color naturally, and keep your colors inside the lines, or create a rougher, realistic drawing with a happy-messy appeal.

Draw(er) Pro encourages creativity with your very first doodle. You'll work towards more and more complex drawings as you discover how many different ways the tools work for you. For example, fur makes perfect fireworks, and both the web and sketch brushes fill in shapes as you draw. Sketch and draw creatively with every tool in Draw(er) Pro, then save and share your works of art for others to enjoy.

Math is Fun
Do you want to make sure math isn't your kid's "worst subject"? Make math fun for your child with Math Training for Kids. This app is a great way for your kids to practice their basic arithmetic and have a good time.

The player has a limited amount of time to answer each question. The higher the difficulty level, the more answers you have to choose from.

Fight encroaching aliens in this tower defense game
Progress through 5 U.S. based locations
Unlock up to 17 kinds of skilled humans and battle 9 kinds of alien
Power-up with energy orbs
Submit high scores to OpenFeint

Product Description

The fate of planet Earth lies within the hands of leagions of well-trained, multidisciplinary soldiers and one pitchfork-wielding hillbilly. Encroaching aliens must be slaughtered before they reach the villages in this tower-defense style game for your Android device.
Grunts vs. Hillbillies

Aliens creep onto the screen, slowly progressing forward. You must stop them before they reach your village border. Place an equally-matched human in its destructive path and watch as the battle ensues. Each soldier has a skill or weapon, from flamethrowers and pitchforks to attack helicopters. Use your most powerful humans only when you need them; they require the most energy.

Luckily, your booze-fueled hillbilly doesn't require any energy. He doesn't put up much of a fight either, but against an alien grunt--he'll get 'er done.

Blue energy orbs appear sporadically. As you collect them, your humans will become energized and ready for battle. Oil wells allow for more frequent power-ups but you must protect your wells.
No Land is Sacred

As you progress through five beautifully rendered U.S.-based locations, unlock more powerful humans and more threatening aliens. Tirelessly battle your way through aliens that do everything from cloak themselves to spit fire.

With OpenFeint, unlock 18 achievements and compare your scores with friends as well as the rest of the world. So, go save the world--and let everyone know about it.

This thoughtful little girl and her puppy, Biscuit, decide to show their loved ones how special they are on Valentine's Day.

Once Upon a Time, in a Bag Far, Far Away
Bag It! is the exciting grocery-bagging puzzle game that will open your eyes to a whole new world inside your shopping bag. These watermelons, eggs, and baguettes have real personality--it's like Tetris meets Toy Story. To add to the fun, Spilt, Sunshine, and all their friends are celebrating Valentine's Day with new holiday-themed visual effects and other Valentine's Day secrets.

Bagging groceries should be a piece of cake. Heavy, sturdy items on the bottom, light and fragile items on the top--seems simple, right? Think again! Bag It! features more than 50 unique levels, three game modes (Standard, Rampage, and Puzzle), tantalizing grocery combos, custom-tailored translations in seven languages, and much more.

Don't Scramble the Eggs
To play, you'll first choose an aisle from the likes of Fresh Squeeze, Udder Mayhem, Ultimate Bagger, Endless Rampage, and much more. Then start dragging those grocery items into the bag. Be careful--if you throw items in haphazardly, you'll end up with squished bread, broken chips, and fewer points. Watch for timers that indicate when an item is about to break. Tilt your device left and right to shift things around. As you progress through the levels, you'll face various challenges, including rotating items to make them fit or sit upright, rearranging poorly bagged items, and more.

Go for Silver and Gold
Try to get all three stars and both medals for each level. See how your packing skills stack up against others and post your scores to OpenFeint leaderboards.
