Another recreational activity that you can enjoy this Presidents Day is coloring. Kids Fingerpainting - President’s Day HD allows you to turn your iPad into a canvas. The app is fairly self-explanatory; you start with a picture of your favorite president and color it in. You can also personalize your picture with a frame or message. There is also an iPhone version of this app, although I prefer the iPad version, since there’s more room to color.

After filling your brain with all that presidential knowledge, you may want to put your expertise to the test with a game. Presidents vs. Aliens is a quirky and entertaining way to quiz yourself. By answering a question correctly, you gain a little president disk to fling at aliens. Get enough questions correct and you gain “Executive Powers.” From a game design standpoint, Presidents vs. Aliens is not the most polished game out there. It’s also somewhat simplistic in its gameplay. But for Presidents Day, it’s a fun way to celebrate the occasion.

Although informative, American Presidents might have a little too much information for young children. For a more digestible overview, Britannica Kids: US Presidents presents just a few facts about each president, including his vice president, first lady, birthday, and a fun fact. The app also features a picture-filled “Did You Know” section, a quiz, and a sing-along version of “Hail to the Chief.” Please note that this app is free in honor of Presidents Day Weekend, but the sale ends Monday, Feb. 20 at Midnight EST.
