Terrace Lanes (in Frederick) is participating again this year. If you live outside of Frederick County, check here to see if a center close to you is participating.

You need to register online for the program (no walk-ins). Throughout the summer, you’ll be emailed a coupon each week the program runs. You’ll need to print a new coupon each week and present it to the bowling center attendant when you take your kids for their free games.

Standard shoe rental rates apply.

If parents, babysitters, or older siblings who don’t qualify for the program would like to bowl with the kids, you can pay a one-time payment of $24.95. This fee covers everyone in your family who doesn’t qualify for the free program. After you register for the free program, you’ll be offered the opportunity to purchase the $24.95 Kids Bowl Free Family Pass.

Remember those Little Golden Books published by Random House? Infamously known as the most popular children’s books, those timeless stories are now available as an interactive storybook apps!

Earlier today, Random House announced that The Poky Little Puppy (the first of over 5 apps) is now officially available for purchase and download through the iTunes store. Originally published in 1942, this book is actually the bestselling picture book of all time!

…

By swiping your finger across the screen, you can open the cover (complete with Little Golden Books’ gold spine) to read the story filled with interactive illustrations. You can either watch and listen as the words are read to you, turn off the narration and read at your own pace (if a child gets stuck on a word they simply touch it to have the individual words spoken to them) or you can even record your own voice to play on each page.

In addition the new Little Golden Books apps offer a Hide-and-Seek Challenge that can be played at the end of each page to unlock bonus stickers. After reading the story, kids can use the stickers they have collected along the way to create their own storybook scene which can then be saved on the device’s photo album.

If you’re interested in downloading the new app, The Poky Little Puppy retails for $4.99, but is available now at the special introductory price of $3.99 through Apple’s iTunes store.
