My Top Ten Iphone Apps for Toddlers

I’ve just returned from Canada, which is a 9.5 hour flight with a toddler.  She’s nearly 3 and I couldn’t have done it without my Iphone; even though we were told that even if we put our phones in flight safe mode we were not allowed to use them at any point during the flight, which I think is a load of bull!  If they interfered with flight communication I’m sure pilots would demand that they were taken off of everyone! Anyhow the dolly birds didn’t notice.

Here are my top ten apps.  What are your favourites?

Toddler Teasers (Shapes)

My daughter now knows what a hexagon is!

Next

Animatch

Good old game of memory.  I was surprised she coped with this one.

Next

Circus Find

Help the clown find his nose. This one is slightly irritating for those adults in the room.

Next

Count TV

Can’t beat the classics.  Number 9 is a scream.

Next

IGo to Farm

Interactive trip through the farm.

Next

Itsy Bitsy

Splash in the puddles and see who pops up.

Next

Peekaboo Farm

See who pops up in the barn.

Next

Pocket Story

Read the story yourself or it will read it to you.

Next

Sound Shaker

Weird but amusing.  Tap the screen and then shake it.

Next

I Hear Ewe

Exploring animal sounds.

Next

These are not all free.  Unfortunately, I can’t remember which ones I paid for.  Worth every penny though.

Note: If you want to do screen captures like these on your iphone just hold down the home button and then press the power button.

    Really, they told you you cant use them in flight mode? how odd!

    First time ever!!! I'm used to turning off for take off and landing. I'm convinced they want you to purchase their headphones for their inflight entertainment.

      I didn’t realise you could do the screen print on a ipod!

      I’ll take a picture of my boss’s desktop and open the picture on the camera roll. He won’t have a clue what’s happening!
