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.

Dr. Seuss Cameras: The Cat in the Hat & The Grinch Editions

I’m classifying the Dr. Seuss Camera apps as art because I consider Dr. Seuss’ illustrations to be art, beloved by both myself and my children. The Dr. Seuss Camera apps feature different cards based on either The Cat in the Hat or How the Grinch Stole Christmas. You select a card and then take a picture, placing a face in a character cutout or beside a character on the screen. Next you can add borders and stamps to finish your Seussical creation. The camera apps also allows you to load images from your photo library and use those if you don’t want to take a new picture with your camera. When you’ve got your card exactly right, it can be saved and then emailed out to family and friends. The Dr. Seuss Camera apps are a fun way to let your children dive into the world of Dr. Seuss and see what they can create with their own imaginations.
