I was introduced to the Appventures iPad, iPhone & iTouch play cases at Toy Fair 2013. I was instantly drawn to the playcase because it was more than just a case: it was an interactive toy that transforms your idevice into a virtual playhouse. There are two 
options the iFirehouse and the iDollhouse and both contain lots of interactive activities as well as a figure with a scannable QR code. I like that this product combines technology and traditional play patterns with the use of the figures that can be used without the technology. My toddler “T” (3 years old) and my niece “L” (almost 2 years old) loved playing with the iDollhouse together and solo. My son “T” loves taking his iFirehouse whenever we leave the house in hopes that mommy will let him use her iPad. The case has been able to entertain and occupy the toddlers for some time as well as spark their imaginations and encourage inquiry based learning through their questions.
