Kids of today are more than knowledgeable with tech compared to the young ones from the past. Aside from the entertainment it gives, parents can take advantage of this to improve the quality time they have with them. This will also help in harnessing the skills, specifically creativity and imagination, and at the same time, create a fun learning experience.

One of the best ways to develop such is through "AR" or augmented reality. Using smartphone cameras, users can overlap digital images and animations to bring realistic effects. Fortunately, there are several free apps to choose from which can make mobile cameras a portal to fascinating scenes and creatures.

One of which is the "Dinosaurs Everywhere!" Kids will definitely love this app as it brings them the prehistoric lizards which are known to survive a long, long time ago. By simply pointing out the camera in any direction, the large predators can join the scene instantly. The app is available for free on all iOS and Android devices.

Another enjoyable app that would bring the creative side of children, according to TechRadar, is the "Quiver." Through AR tech, the app joins the real-world drawing and shading by requiring physical skills and of course, the smartphone's camera. However, the app will require few steps such as downloading and printing the Quiver coloring pages from quivervision.com, downloading the app to the phone, and transform the designs into wonderful masterpieces by using any pens or pencils.

Meanwhile, "Iron HUD", the free app for iOS, can make the dream to become an Iron Man come true. By using iOS phones, the iconic role can be portrayed by giving the glimpse of what's it like to be inside the suit. Not only will it give the view from Iron man's eyes but also, the famous voice of Jarvis is integrated. Definitely, this will look good on VRs, too!
