Top 50 iPhone Apps for Kids
About a week after I began using my iPhone, I was in love. I had a calendar with me at all times, and I was able to stay on top of my family's schedule - even though there are six of us! I had email access while I was out, so I wasn't constantly playing catch up with PTO business in the evening. Then I discovered apps! There are many apps to help busy moms manage their lives, but there are also just as many exclusively for kids. My children can watch videos, interact with their favorite characters, and practice letter-writing and math. No matter where my family goes, they can be entertained and I can have peace of mind knowing they're learning even while they're having fun.
In January 2009 I began a website, The iPhone Mom, dedicated to helping moms find apps that could do the same for them and their children. Since beginning the site, I've seen both the quantity and quality of useful apps for kids grow.
Babble.com asked me to put together a list of my Top 50 iPhone Apps for Kids. Here, in descending order, are my favorites and the ones I think you'll find most useful.

3D Storybook – The Wrong Side of the Bed

Likes
The Wrong Side of the Bed tells the tale of Mott, a little boy who literally wakes up on the wrong side of the bed one morning. The story follows Mott throughout the day as he experiences life in a new way. The illustrations are tremendously fun and can be viewed in either 2-D or 3-D (you’ll need a pair of 3-D glasses with red/cyan lenses). If you look at the book without the glasses, you can turn the iPhone upside down, and new effects will happen. The Wrong Side of the Bed has appropriate music and sound effects and is a cute story that shows how fun it is to see things from a different perspective. The 3-D option takes the story to an entirely different level and will really give your children a treat!
