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.

Likes
Animal Coloring Book is for older toddlers and young preschoolers. It features pictures of animals that are big, chunky and easy for little fingers to handle. The animals come in different categories: bugs, jungle, farm or ocean. The app has a color wheel at the bottom of the screen that can be spun to reveal additional colors. Your child taps on a color and then taps on the part of the picture they want to fill in. It’s that easy. Because the pictures are large and without excessive details, toddlers will have an easy time tapping where they actually want to color. Animal Coloring Book is simple, uncomplicated and just right for the age it was
designed for.
