    Max adventure looks really fun! I will definitely try that one for my kids. Anyway, I would like to share the app that I found. It is called BallFallDown by FlatPack Interactive. It is an Entertainment App that allows users to take an empty iPad screen -“board”- and construct thier own interactive game. You can make all sorts of things including pinball machines. It is free in iTunes. You guys can check it out also. It is really fun and exciting!
