We like FirstWords:Animals for preschoolers. The most basic spelling program with cute animals and sounds. I have an ipod and it has saved me in doctor’s offices and no doubt we’ll love it on the airplane. Now, if only one device would be enough for two kids!

Thank you for this! I have watched kids play with parent’s iPhones and I had no idea what to add. (other than the sesame street podcasts) Of course getting the Air Hockey away from me will be tough.

Wow — I can’t believe I don’t have *any* of these yet! Will definitely be downloading — thanks.

Other hits from my household (not strictly “kid” games, but that’s part of the charm): my nearly-5 y.o. is obsessed with reMovem (free) and both of my kids are fascinated by Labyrinth (the Lite Edition is also free and has plenty of “wow factor”). But am I a bad mom because I get bitter when my kids monopolize my toy?!

Thanks for this list. I just bought iKids Play (and saw that there is another story now as well) based on your recommendation. Very nice site, by the way.

This is a great list thanks

My 6-year-old plays with apps on my iPhone all the time. We have some coloring book apps and kids audio books, she likes looking at our photos as well.

there is a site called http://www.iPhoneAndKids.com for kids app reviews

My 5 year old likes Scoops. It’s an application where you catch scoops of ice cream (and avoid vegetables) on an ice cream cone. It uses the accelerometer for control. He also likes Crossbones (which is a version of the card game Set)

What a fun idea! Thanks for the opportunity to receive one! :)

I didn’t realize games on a phone could entertain a child for that long. I’m sold on that

Checkout our newly launched app Math series in app store. Similar to our other apps, this is also catered towards children to find the missing number. My 4 yr old daughter likes it.

Please visit us at http://www.anusen.com for all our apps and send us your feedback.

Thank you for posting your favorite apps. Please, keep them coming. Jane

I love to see these lists, keep them coming! I’ve been working on a handful of iPhone apps for kids, the first has been released. It’s called Create-A-Cartoon Face, you can see it at http://www.rcloudsoftware.com/iphone/cartoonface

I can’t wait to see what developers come up with next, so far there haven’t been that many kids apps, but more are coming out every day.

We downloaded a new flash card application that is great too. It’s called Dex ABC Animals. The illustrations are great and the interface is very easy to use for my 2 and 3 year olds. They love it

What about the kids eat free application. It pulls the closest restuarants to you that offer kids eat free meals.

I found this NEW iPhone/iTouch application that is not only great for keeping my daughter busy, but she is learning about music and LIKING it :)

“Aimed at kids ages 8-14 years old, the protective silicone sleeves fit snuggly over an iPod nano and include a range of hip monster creations, with editions available for both iPod nano 3rd and 4th generations. Each case comes with its own secret code that can be used at Psyclops.com to unlock full access to an online social network where users can create and dress their own avatars, mix their own music, and create animated dance videos that can be downloaded onto your iPod for viewing and sharing.

Psyclops also creates a range of hip monster creation ipod protective cases, YET another reason I love this for my daugter!”

You don’t need to own a Psyclops case to join the online community!

PS Not gonna lie, I loove this app and can’t wait for more characters to become more available!

AniMatch is an adorable, fun, and educational take on the classic memory match game. The goal is to match the pairs of cute animal heads. Each animal makes its sound when touched. AniMatch is featured this week by Apple in Best Kids’ Games on the iTunes App store.

The Toy Lounge of St. Paul MN creates iPhone apps for Children’s Books – http://TheToyLounge.com – these children’s book apps work on the iPod Touch too, so you don’t have to get sticky fingers all over your iPhone.

Thanks!

check out smacktalk-it is an app that allows you to speak and then little creatures repeat what you say in a funny voice..my three old is nuts for it..

I have 2 kids (4 and 6), and they have been in LOVE with the “Kids Songs Kwiz Game” lately…it’s a sort of ‘name that tune’ but for little ones. So cute and it keeps them entertained while I am stuck in traffic (which is the best part). I’ll include a link…

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=314660548&mt=8

Not sure if it is considered a kids game, however, my kids ranging 3 to 7 are especially fond of “Bounce On”. We find it can keep them entertained from anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes at a time. They have been able to clear all the levels of the Lite version which has prompted us to consider buying the full version.

Worried about what your kids might stumble across when browing the web on your iPhone or Touch? new app out there that is a kid-safe browser and has links to more than 1K fun and cool sites kids will like – animals, space, reference, etc. The app locks kids out of adult, gambling & similar sites. it also can track web usage, lets you set up reports on what they’ve browsed and allows you to add sites to the “whitelist” of ok places to browse. It’s on iTunes,
http://itunes.com/apps/SurfBalanceSafeBrowserForKids.

My company released Animal Fun Time to promote interactive learning for kids. We tested it with relatives and friends and all had great fun and it is now a top 50 app in iPhone education.

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321592228&mt=8

Great list thank you. My 3 year old son really likes Colorama, Dizzy Bee, My Labrador, Wheels on the Bus, Crash Kart, Rolando and I would also recommend an educational game Learn to Talk, great app for young children to help them learn new words (by going through the flash card, listening to the sounds and repeating the words) http://www.ilearntotalk.com/Products.html

Thanks for the awesome list. I stumbled upon a new iPhone application called “ABC Animals – Talking Alphabet for Kids” while looking for something to get my 2 year old started on reading. I’ve only had it for a few days, but I love it, and more importantly, my son loves it! The pictures are active, fun, and most of all, ENGAGING for my kid.

Hi, I put together a guessing ‘game’ for my grandchildren which they seem strangely fascinated by and not having any sound effects it keeps them QUIET!

There are a couple of pages of information about it at:

and it is also in the Apple Webapps section at:

http://www.apple.com/webapps/games/animalguesses.htm

Hi!

I hope this will be of interest. My company, PawPaw, has just released a new game called Farm Idol.

The game consists of selecting from a range of animals (and a farmer) and presssing them to make a sound (baa, quack and so on!).

If the iPhone is tilted, the note changes making it possible to play little tunes using a farm animal – surprisingly fun!

The note names are also displayed on the left of the screen and can be pressed to make playing tunes even easier (and perhaps help children learn a musical octave).

Have a look and do let us know if you have any ideas for future versions!

All the best,

Hi

There’s a great list of kids iPhone apps here now!

To add mine to the list, I have just released LittleLand, a fun little app based around a cute rabbit and the world around him. The game is mostly about tinkering with the various objects and how they interact. There is weather, daytime/nighttime, food items etc.

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=326281113&mt=8

I hope your kids enjoy it!

An iPhone kids application you should check out is iStoryTime. It’s a library of narrated and illustrated kids books for the iPhone. There are 6 books available in the Apple AppStore today: http://www.istorytimeapp.com/appstore With new ones coming out every week.

Great for driving in the car, on the airplane, or at a restaurant waiting for the bill when the kids are going crazy.

Books are $1.99/ea from iTunes and can also be purchased on your phone from anywhere. Great for entertaining the kids in a guilt free way. All the wholesomeness of a book with the convenience of your phone.

My daughter just LOVES the sounding pictures of the Winzki apps. There’s a list on http://www.Winzki.de (German site, but also english, french and spanish. Does not matter anyways, because the apps dont have text anywhere)

ABC Zoo – is a great iPhone app to help your kids get used to reading. very useful while travelling

I’m surprised to see no music or rhythm games up on the list. Music is something every child can enjoy no matter how old they are or at what skill level. Some good ones out there include Mevo and the Grooveriders and Imp: surf the music.

http://www.xoxol.net/
Here you can find ABC application for kids

“Balls Kids” is new. It’s a toy and timewaster, with absolutely no educational value whatsoever. You touch the screen to add balls or blow them up, and tilt to roll them around. They chime and make funny noises when they hit each other or the sides of the screen.

Fun in the car, too – you can see the effect of accelerating, braking and turning on the balls.

I wrote an iPhone game to help teach math (addition), but also has a strategy element that anyone can enjoy. It resembles a solitaire game of bingo. You can see a sample sequence at
http://bungouroca.com/Bungo_Uroca/Tutorial.html
I plan to expand it to subtraction and multiplication, although I haven’t decided whether to drive it as options on the current game or as separate editions. My concern is that K-1 players might accidentally put it in a mode beyond their skill level and get frustrated (feedback would be appreciated — there is a Facebook fan page link on the site).

Hi guys. I found this funtastic app for iphone. My kids love it:

Name: iGoto the Jungle
Category: Education
Price: $0,99
Company: Lisbon Labs
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=332739881&mt=8

Description: iGoto the Jungle is a family application that you can use to entertain your kids and also teach them about jungle animals.

Forget the common child books. With iGoto the Jungle learning has never been more fun and we guarantee you’ll spend some quality time together while your children point to the animals and watch them moving and making all sort of sounds.

We’ve tested iGoto the Jungle with dozens of toddlers and were surprised to see the ease they adapt to the iPhone and the way they interact with the application.

Hope you enjoy it .)

My daughter’s favorite game is Apeeka Match by Sixits. It’s free! She loves looking for the matches with the animals. I looked up the company’s website because of a friend’s email….

We have just released an educational app for kids called LikeItSounds!
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=327760406&mt=8&uo=6

LikeItSounds! is an app that teaches kids about homonyms as they solve up to 50 fun riddles, all fully illustrated. Our site, http://www.likeitapps.com features a blog with fun facts about homonyms and words in general. We are brand-new and really interested in hearing what parents will think of our game. We think it’s a great way to pass the time in the car on long trips!

We’d love to offer a promotional copy to any parent reviewers out there as well.

Thanks!

Hi

My 2 year old started playing this ABC matching game called AlphaMatcher and seems to keep him entertained.
It’s has a cute applause when you match letters correctly. I like it because it displays both upper and lower case letters for him to learn.

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=335300787&mt=8

He also likes to play Wheels on the bus too~

-Kate

Hello,

Thanks for sharing these – I will definitely be picking some of them up. My two-year old LOVES SmackTalk – it is hilarious to see him crack up at the sounds it makes. It can get on your (the parent’s nerves after a while – just ask my husband – so be warned. LOL) The other day, he got my cousin’s iPhone and mine out, put them both on SmackTalk to see how they would echo each other. We were totally wowed at that.

We also love Peekaboo Barn – http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300590611&mt=8. It’s an interactive game where you tap the barn and the doors open to reveal an animal that makes a sound. You then have a couple of seconds to say the animal before a cute child-like voice says it for you. I believe there is an option in settings to turn off the ‘answer’, but my son loves to hear the talking. As a bonus at the end, it goes to nightime, and all the animals go to sleep. You can also set it to do Spanish, if you’d like. And there’s a Lite version if you want to try-before-you-buy.

I also have Wheels on the Bus and ABC Animals. These are really nice, even though they don’t keep him entertained for too long – he always seems to run back to SmackTalk.

Two days ago or so, I bought one called Arcade – http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285523979&mt=8. It has three interactive games. One is a matching ‘claw’ game – you see a shadow of an object and you have to pick from a list of four objects which one matches the shadow. The ‘claw’ moves over the one you select and if you’re correct, drops it into the right spot. There is also an Alphabet matching game where six letters are shown and a voice calls out a letter. The child has to pick the letter that is shown. This shows both upper-and-lower case letters. My son only recognizes upper case right now, so hopefully this will be a good learning tool. The last game seems to be a pinball game for counting, but I haven’t out how that works. I plan to write the developers.

I have two young boys who will not give me back my iPhone! I just recently found this great app called Travel Games Ultimate Edition. It has five games that I loved playing as a child (and now with my kids). One thing I like about it is most apps only provide you one game for your money, but this one has incorporated five which saves a lot of room on the icons screens. The five games it has are Slug Bug, Rock/Paper/Scissors, Find It! Pictures, Scavenger Hunt and License Plates Game. The thing I find most interesting about this app is how it allows others who are NOT using the iPhone to get involved in the game. Family interaction, yeah I think I will keep this one! You can find it on the apps web site at http://twistedtechnologyllc.com or on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=333207526&mt=8.

After going through the comments, I realized that I can’t even trust the postings that look like normal people making suggestions with all the hawking of apps going on. That’s really too bad. Developers, I know you mean well but I’ll just stick with looking at the top ten recommend by this site.

I created an app for my son to prepare him for kindergarten.

I think it’s pretty neat. It’s a magic chalkboard that comes to life and teaches him his ABCs. Rewarding him with a drawing after each letter is learned.

You can find it at:
http://www.agilitech.com/ABCTutor/

Hope you like it!

Just came across a GREAT app called THE BIRTHDAY.

It’s a book
It’s a game
It’s an iphone app!

Just came across this interactive book that my kids LOVE.
It’s totally cute AND educational. It’s amazing how it gets kids to learn.

Every once in a while the narrator asks kids to help the characters out with something. Because kids are all into the story, they happily work out problems. Most are geared towards 4-5 year olds, but some are for older kids (6-7) as well.

You can find it at:

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=337226923&mt=8

Juicebox Software just came out with two new apps all about robots! There’s Amazing Robot Memory and Robot Coloring Book. Both feature great images of robots in a variety of themes (silly, wacky, evil, and friendly).

The memory game is great and features three levels from ease (4 cards/2pairs) to hard (24 cards/12 pairs).

The coloring book is easy-to-use, and you can even save your pictures once you’ve finished! You simply choose the color you want from the wheel at the bottom of the screen, then tap the section you want filled in.

Check out Juicebox Software here: http://juiceboxsoftware.com/index.html

If you want your children to actually interact with YOU instead of vegging out then I highly recommend you check out Family Matters.

It’s a wonderfully entertaining tool whether you are at a restaurant or on a road trip. It asks fun questions and presents engaging activities that really bring the family closer.

I first learned about it from a youtube video. I can’t find the link but I think it is on their website to at

http://www.weinerfamilystudios.com

And here it is in iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/family-matters/id335735323?mt=8

[...] Jamie of Travel Savvy Mom was worried this would be the only answer I’d get, and she wasn’t far off the mark! The reason? The iPhone (or iTouch) is so versatile, it can come in handy with kids of all ages. Plus, it‘s already in your purse! Read up on the top apps for kids and start downloading! [...]

My kids love to play with an app called one circle (www.onecircleinc.com). They like building the animated characters and it is fun seeing them react once they are built. Great at the airport and in the car.

We love Family Matters too. Definitely check it out at the app store. It’s a great way to interact with the children when you are out and about.

Great suggestions! Also, I recently released two iphone games for kids.

Jumbo Match

My son and his friends (9 and 8) love to play with http://www.snowglobemaker.com. They can make tons of customized snow globes and also share them with their friends via email and Facebook. It is just a charming app that’s a great thing to keep kids occupied in the car, on a road trip, waiting for an appointment, or while shopping. Also, given the sharing component, it is a fun way to have the kids send cool thank you’s!

Check out he app “SpellingMagic”. It is free to download from the iTunes App Store. You can enter any list of spelling words, and then there are a variety of fun and engaging games to help kids learn how to spell those words. Great for all kids who get spelling lists from school and want to have an entertaining way to learn and practice those words independently.

A great Educational App that teaches children their ABC’s is ABC Tutor. Connor’s voice is so cute! This app is very engaging and your child will play with the “Magic Chalkboard” for hours.

Effortless way to teach your child their abc’s while keeping him/her entertained at a restaurant etc.

ABC Tutor is an app that my nephew is addicted to. Very well done, cute too!

Cookie Dunk is also available on iTunes. Cookies love being dunked in milk so drag the cookie in the milk using your finger and watch the splash! The cookie will shout with joy when you dunk it. Simple and entertaining fun.Here is a link and a couple of promo codes.

My kids LOVE the app, Who Loves Baby? One of the only apps that I have found that embraces family, friends and love!

I created a picture album (from the pictures on my phone) of all of our family and friends. Each person recorded a little message for the girls. My 1 year old and 3 year old absolutely LOVE flipping threw their album and tapping each picture to hear special messages from those they love most. Though most of my family is nearby, I feel like this app would be so special for military families or those far apart.

100% guilt free entertainment!

Hey all, I just wanted to chime in and let you know about http://www.childiphoneapps.com .
We just acquired this website and hope to do good things with it. We have been working on our first app and it should be released by February 9th 2010. Please stop by our website and check it out.
Thanks!

For kids age 3-6 best options are story books that are interactive such as “The Terrible Triplets” or “Molly and the Magic Lolly”. Your kid can interact with all the characters and slide, drag etc…Also no rush, you kid can stay on a screen and replay animations or move along to find out more options….This is highly distractive and finally you will have some time for yourself! My kids love this!

Dear Travel Savvy Mom Team,

Check out The Tortoise and the Hare, the third Kidztory animated storybook app from Stepworks.

Try it yourself with this promo code: M4F4HKH467PE.

Launched just yesterday, The Tortoise and the Hare is already on the Top 100 book apps list in the US and the UK.

It’s popular because kids and their parents love the first two Kidztory titles, The Little Red Hen, and The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Each Kidztory title is chosen for its positive message and timeless charm.

Hope you think The Tortoise and the Hare is worth sharing with your readers – and especially with the children in your life.

Spotisodes are fun and exciting iApps about Lifeboat Luke, a search and rescue adventure series for 4-7 year olds and their salty parents and grandparents. The series touches on the saftey issues involved with going to the seaside and going out to sea on a boat.

Each Spotisode features a 5 minute episode of Lifeboat Luke as well as an interactive game which encourages kids to play along with the story, spotting special items that appear on screen. If they spot all 20 items they can unlock an exclusive Lifeboat Luke colouring page on the Luke website. The iApps are great for keeping idle hands busy during long journeys in the car or trips to the shops.

A fun app for kids – Make paper snow flakes without paper and scissors. Our kids spend hours “cutting” these out. Easy to use and every snowflake can be saved. We have hundreds of them already.

I am a developer with a Free version of my application Let’s Hear the Animals! with the animals’ sounds and the animals’ names in English and Spanish. There are advertisements in the application, but you should only see one at launch (maybe) and every two minutes. And if you like the app and don’t like ads there is a 99 cent version.

I hope people enjoy my application.

I have no connection with the developers of the monkey preschool game, but my 3 year old son loves it. Really wish it were mine.

Dear Travel Savvy Team,

The Three Little Pigs, is the fourth Kidztory animated storybook app from Stepworks. It’s now at large, on the lookout for piggy snacks.

Taste it yourself with this promo code: MWT63PKPPJM9

Launched just last week, The Three Little Pigs is already delighting parents and children and has already been in the top ten of all paid apps in the US, in fact all four Kidztory titles are currently in the top 30. WOW!

It’s popular because like all the Kidztory titles, it’s an app that’s been carefully, lovingly built with bricks and mortar.

And like its companion titles, it has been selected for its positive message and timeless charm.

We think you’ll find The Three Little Pigs is well worth sharing with your readers – and the children in your life.

Best regards,

Stephen and the Kidztory team
