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.

Doodle Find is a game where you must find as many doodles as you can in ninety seconds. The game seems easy enough because doodles are on the screen right in front of you, but they end up being hidden in plain sight. At the top of the screen is the name of the doodle that you need and the number of them you must tap. When you’ve found them all, you’ll be given a new doodle to look for, but as you tap on the correct doodles they will quickly be replaced by other doodles filling up the screen. As your time runs out, the doodles start coming more quickly. Doodle Find can be played via Facebook Connect or as an offline player. It’s a nice, fast-paced game for older kids. Adults be warned, though: you just might find yourself addicted as well.
