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.

Triazzle is a puzzling, brain-teasing game that is not as easy to solve as it may appear. You are given either a nine- or sixteen- piece puzzle, shaped like a triangle. The pieces are also triangular in shape, and each side has a bit of an illustration on it. Your task is to arrange the pieces in such a way that each side matches up
with another, but just because you make a match on
one side it does not mean the puzzle piece is in the correct spot. When a piece is matched correctly, the illustrations on it will come to life. This lets you know you’re on the right track. The app features puzzles for adults, but it also has a children’s section, which is why it made the list. Triazzle is a game the entire family can try and enjoy.
