I purchased a frog dissection app for my TEENAGERS and the 4 year old ended up becoming enthralled by it. Seriously!
He likes to talk about what each organ does now that he has become our youngest “medical” student. He told his grandma we let him “cut up the froggie”. I’m not sure how that will help her opinion of our parenting skills or homeschooling, but we think he’s a smart little cookie for sure!
I’d much rather him dissect a virtual frog at 4 (and learn some things about science and biology) than play mindless video games like “Plants and Zombies” with the iPad. If he’s interested in it, why not?
The big kids had a dissection today in real life at their one-day class for Apologia Biology. I’ve been informed that a crawfish’s brain is below his mouth. That was discussed at the dinner table. Fun.
I’m going to let them take the iPad to school after Spring Break (which is next week for us) and show the rest of their class this amazing app.
Check it out for yourself here:

*this App is outdated and the give-away has been completed, but you can most likely find something similar in the App Store if you search by keyword! Good luck!* (post updated 2019)
It also has a few frog videos, charts that compare human internal organs to frogs’, frog life cycle charts and graphics, etc. I was really impressed with the app – so much that I have asked Punflay.com if I could give a code away for this app.
Would you be interested in trying it out for your homeschoolers?

Thanks so much for reading my blog!
Ooo my 6 yo homeschooled boy’s favorite subject is Anatomy. He loves studying pictures of the various systems – skeletal, muscular, nervous, etc 🙂
I would definitely be interested in trying it out.
This would be cool for all my kids, ages 6-16! And way less smelly than those nasty formaldehyde filled ones – ew!
This would be wonderful for my teen girls that don’t want to actually have to touch and cut up anything! Thanks for making this available.
Wow! How wonderful! My homeschooled kids would love this and I have been wondering how I could incorporate something like this! My questions have been answered!
My oldest will be starting biology soon and this would be great! Do you know if the company makes the app for other animals as well?
Hey Crystal – you are the winner! 😉 I’ll send you the code today!
My 2 boys would love this! They are 7 & 9 and are all about science and critters 🙂 My 9 year old takes Science at One Day Academy, but they are not doing any dissecting. This would be a blast for them.
This sounds like such a great app! I’m sure my daughter would love it. 🙂
My 13 year old would be thrilled to be able to do this without having to actually cut up a frog!
Never would have thought of looking for a dissecting app myself. What a great idea! This will be perfect for my 6 year old.
My Grandsons would love this App, my granddaughters might think differently. LOL
The class I teach has already dissected frogs this semester, but this would be a lot of fun for my kids at home!
I miss you, woman!
