For the full review, where it's in stock, and how much it costs, visit http://www.timetoplaymag.com/toys/6114/fred-rogers-center-at-saint-vincent-college/alien-assignment/ Alien Assignment is an app that encourages parent and child interaction in a thoughtful camera seek, find, and share game. Open up Alien Assignment and meet the main characters, an alien family traveling through space who, due to a terrible turn of events, crash into planet Earth. Your child's job is to help the aliens fix their ship by searching for items that belong in specific categories. The app doesn't ask kids to find specific objects, instead making them think about what objects are cold, smelly, blue, or any number of other category-style questions. Kids search around their environment and take a picture of the object that belongs in the category. Then kids have to find a grown-up and show them the pictures they took, which is an excellent feature added by the developer. The grown-up's job is to check that the pictures match the category and take a moment to talk with their child. Once the grown-up has given the okay, the app continues. If one of the pictures isn't correct kids, go back and try again. Oh, and don't worry about all these pictures your kids are taking. They are not saved in your photo stream.
