A STORYBOTS HALLOWEEN by JibJab Media

This app is really fun. You can cast your children in a Halloween themed story video for them to watch. Nathaniel got such a kick out of watching himself and the rest of the family on the screen. The app is free to download and comes with one Halloween themed story video. Other video can be unlocked through an in-app purchase. Sharing your video via email or social media is available but requires parents to enter a security pass code witch is picked by the parent during the initial setup of the app.
