App Designer

Hey Maevy-

(Picture from a recent nail excursion with Aunt Lesley. Purple finger nails; green toe nails; reading Cosmo.)

We had this conversation yesterday on the way home from school.

You: How do you look things up?

Me: You mean on the internet?

You: Yes.

Me: (I attempt to explain google and the internet.)

You: Ok, well when we get home can we look for an app called Hide and Seek? People are hiding and then you double tap on the different places to see if they are hiding there. If they are, then their head or arm pops out. If not, then there's nothing there.

Me: Sure, how did you hear about this app?

You: I made it up.

Me: Oh that's cool.

You: Yeah, and people can hide in different places like at home, the park, or the zoo.

Me: Cool, so how does the app help you decide which location to look in? Does it give you clues?

You: Yeah, it would give you a clue. Like it would show you a hippo, and then you would know to go look at the "Hippo" park. (Hippo park is what we call the park near our house. There's a play-hippo there.)

Me: That's neat. Would it show you the word hippo or the picture?

You: The picture.

Me: What other types of places would people be hiding?

You: the jungle or the aquarium

Me: Very cool. (Then we talked about what place a seahorse would be in (the ocean or the aquarium), etc..)

Then we were home and we told Daddy all about your app. This whole conversation was pretty ingenious to me. Maybe one day you can actually design this app. I can't wait to hear what you invent next!

Love you,

Mommy
