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.

Tumbledrop is an addictive game based on an idea similar to the classic game of Jenga. In each level you are presented with a set of shapes, balanced on top of each other on a platform in the water. You’re asked to remove the yellow shapes without bumping another designated “special” shape off the platform and into the water. Once you begin to take away shapes, they will tumble and bump into each other. You must be careful and think your moves through so that you can keep that one special shape on the platform. As you progress through the game, there are new tricks to learn as you solve the puzzles. Tumbledrop features eighty different levels and allows you to earn up to one hundred and fifty medals for completing different challenges. The game also provides a quick-play option where you can play random levels and attempt to beat your high score.
