When I first bought my Iphone I never thought in a million years that I’d let my 3 year old play with it. She absolutely flies around it, when my hubby wouldn’t be able to make a call on it. I’ve downloaded so many apps, I’ve started organising them by subject (Literacy, Numeracy, etc). This may stem from my former life as a primary school teacher.
I don’t tend to download games such as Paper Toss, Angry Birds etc as I’d like them to have some educational content but I haven’t gone as far as downloading flash cards.
I was looking for some classic books (Cinderella, Pinocchio, Snow White, etc), which I didn’t find but stumbled upon these books by Kidz Story. I think they’re great and so does Madame. You have the option for the story to be read to you or read it yourself plus there’s a bit on interactivity built in. They’re not free but for 59p I think it’s a great bargain! They would have cost a lot more than £3 for 5 books on the High Street.
Here’s what we thought:

Do you have any apps that you would recommend for a 3 year old?
Which ones would you avoid?
Oooh off for a look – always on the lookout for apps to amuse the smalls
