50 Best iPhone and iPad Apps for Kids
You love your iPhone, and for good reason. It's your social calendar, your family organizer, and your connection to the best friend you haven't seen since your first year of college. Your kids love your iPhone, too, but for them, it's all about the sheer fun of messing around with Mom's apps. When you consider that the iTunes Store has launched more than 500,000 apps to date, there's plenty of fun to be had! Read More ↓
For Babble's roundup of the top 50 iOS (Apple's operating platform) apps for kids, we looked at some basic criteria that you and your family might also consider before downloading an app. Every app we tested had to have received Apple's age-appropriate "4+" rating. We also considered whether the app allowed parents to participate in, or at least oversee, whatever their kids were doing onscreen. And, even if the apps were designed to do nothing more than keep the kids busy while you're in line at the store, there had to be some positive or educational element to it.
We've broken down our top 50 apps by category, price and age range. (Though many of these apps have a free edition, these "lite" versions often include ads or limit the number of features you can use.) Apps that are labeled "HD" are exclusive to iPad, but nearly all of the apps we selected can be used on any iOS device you own. We hope you have as much fun checking these out as we did testing them. And if we missed one, be sure to tell us about your favorite apps! - Aaron Burgess

Speech with Milo: Sequencing
Learning to recognize sequences is one thing, but figuring out how to arrange them into stories is another – and this is where Speech with Milo shines. Created by a licensed speech language pathologist, the app combines familiar sequencing exercises with bright, fun animation to help your little ones get their imaginations in order. Kids are tasked with putting three cards in order, with each card showing the adorable animals Milo and Melvin performing one of several tasks. Ordering the cards is as simple as pointing and dragging, and when you get the sequence right, the story comes to life through animation. Here’s hoping that Milo adds even more cards to his repertoire – we envision a much bigger story coming together.
