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.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Preschool Storybook Piano combines the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with a piano keyboard that kids can use to play their own music. The app will teach them the notes to the song by displaying them on the screen and then lighting up the appropriate piano keys. Once your preschooler has learned the tune they can play along while illustrations scroll across the screen. There is also a karaoke mode that displays the words to the song while they play the piano. Finally, free play mode gives your child the chance to play whatever song they wish. Each mode allows your child to record and play back their piano playing or singing.

    This is a great App for young children. An App that is similar but for older children is called Princess Piano. This App has more of a focus on learning the musical notation. Through an adventure of 28 levels it guides the user from playing one note, to playing full songs from classical masters such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Debussy!

    Barnyard Bluegrass is most definitely worth checking out. There’s really nothing else like it.
