Media_httpsakbuzzfedc_fnaup

A 101-year-old grandma from China, up sprouted a horn out of her head last year. No one knows how it got there. Apparently, a second horn is starting to grow on the other side of her head, which would be pretty much the end of the whole unicorn thing

10 cool iPhone apps for kids

List of cool apps that encompasses a little bit of everything from education to art and music with plenty of creative fun sandwiched in between.

  • Bookworm: Sometimes parents don't want their children simply wasting time by playing a mindless video game or watching T.V. That's where "Bookworm" comes into play. Each time you play a game in "Bookworm," your goal is to score points by linking letters to form words. Cost: $2.99
  • Build a Robot: This fun app is perfect for creative kids and might even appeal to teens and adults. "Build a Robot" is a lot like playing with a Mr. Potato Head. You can select arms, legs, body, head and facial features to create a unique robot every time. When you're done, you can choose to color your creation or leave it black and white. Cost: $1.99
  • SpinArt: "SpinArt" is an app that creates colorful art on a spinning canvas. You start with a blank sheet of paper, a palette of vibrant paints and your imagination. With a spin of your finger you can create colorful art. You can change the color of your canvas or even start by using a picture from your photo library. Cost: $0.99
