Favorite iPod iTouch Apps for Children

This weekend was a busy one for us. We took a last minute road trip on 

Friday and yet again the iTouch came to the rescue! 

My daughter stays busy almost the entire time in the car whether she is playing educational Apps, watching her favorite cartoon episodes, or a movie that I rented from iTunes.  

 My favorite are the educational Apps because you can keep your child occupied 

and learning for hours!

This morning I have been on the search for some new ones to keep things interesting! 

While reading some other blogs I found that  Treasures for Tots loves these for her daughter:

Miss Spider's Tea Party ($4.99) -  So much to do with this App. There 

is a wonderful story about Miss Spider looking for a bug to have tea 

with her (they are scared of her 'cause she's a spider after all!), an 

interactive story that's lots of fun, and games like memory 

match, puzzles and painting. Definitely a good buy!

Olivia (2.99) -  Lots of fun painting, and then the paintings become animated. All right!

Super Why (2.99) -  First you pick your Super Hero character, then you 

learn to spell (and write) in a interesting way. It teaches her to listen to 

a story and then find the correct answers.

Rosita's Jump Count (1.99) - This one is too funny. Learn to count in 

Spanish while playing jump rope.

K-Magic (FREE) - All of K-Magic's Apps are wonderful and FREE! 

iWash My Dogs Lite (FREE) - A silly little App. First you "wash" the dog, 

then you "rinse", "dry" and last you "brush" the dog until it's "all sparkly 

clean"! If you buy the App you'll get more dogs - but for toddlers and 

preschoolers I think the free App is just fine to keep them interested.

Kid's Maze (99¢) - A neat labyrinth game that helps them to count and 

teaches hand/eye coordination. It takes some concentration and 

it holds her attention.

BalloonMaker (99¢) - Cute, fun, and what kid can resist balloons? Touch 

the screen to blow up a balloon - touch the balloon to pop it. Turn the 

iTouch to watch the balloons "float" to the top too!

Bert's Bag ($2.99) - Use your finger to open the bag, shake the iTouch to 

make the bag dump the stuff inside, then touch the objects to count them. 

Kids have to learn to listen to directions, and it teaches them how to 

count. Another fun interactive educational game.

Fish School (99¢) - Tap the screen to get the fish to form different letters, 

then a woman's pleasant voice "sings" out each letter. Touch the letters

 in the left-hand corner and the narrator tells you what the letter stands 

for: J is for jellyfish. Cute game.

Make A Martian (FREE) - create your own Martian! Hundreds of 

options! Lots of FREE fun!

Count TV ($2.99) - Sesame Street's The Count goes through 9 different interactive 

Sesame Street videos (some from really old shows) and teaches 

your child to count up to nine. Very entertaining!

Alphabet Tracing (FREE) - Follow a tiny train with your finger to trace

 over each letter. Great little FREE program!

Glow Coloring (FREE) - So neat! Change neon colors, use stamps, use 

your own pictures, and more. You can pay 99¢ to remove the ads too.

Mega Jump (99¢) - Crazy, wacky game that you tilt side to side to move 

the little guy and collect coins so he can jump high. The more coins 

you collect the higher he jumps.

Nick Jr.'s A to Z ($1.99) -  Find hidden letters - big and small, plenty 

enough on this game to keep your preschooler playing for hours.

The Cat in the Hat ($2.99) - A classic book now available for the iTouch! Your 

child can have the book read to her and when she touches different 

things in the picture, words pop up and the narrator reads them to

 your child. A wonderful way to learn new sight words.

Team Umizoomi ($1.99) - Nick Jr.! Learn patterns and shapes. 

Lots to do and lots of fun!
