You might have considered your iPhone or the iPod Touch as a communication tool or a technology device that makes life simpler for you. However, that’s really not all! If you don’t know yet, you would be surprised to discover that the iPhone actually has the capability of engaging your preschooler through lengths of time. There are some delightful apps on the iPhone for preschoolers and smaller kids that can keep them completely engaged for hours. And, especially if you are a parent who finds TV watching in younger kids quite objectionable, these kids friendly apps are just right for you. They are interesting enough to capture the fancies of children between the age group of 3 to 5, irrespective of how restless or naughty they might be.
Best Kids Friendly Apps to Choose from
-
Fairies Fly— If your kid is an avid watcher of Disney movies and considers the characters part of his own family, this is the right app for him or her. He can actually steer characters like Tinkerbell through clouds, insects and trees, and indulge in this delightful app forever! On the other hand, if you are a parent who wishes to keep their child away from Disney characters on principal, this is clearly not the one for you.
-
The Wheels on the Bus— If your child already has a thing for vocals, this musical app is just the right choice for you. This is an interactive version that would allow little children to sing along in Spanish, French and English. He can even have his voice recorded and listen to his own songs! Of course there are the bus riders as well as the townspeople, establishing the theme of a quaint French Village.
-
Subway Shuffle Lite— If you are looking for apps that would entertain kids and provide enough inputs for the brain building exercise, this app is just right for you. Here, kids are required to remove obstacles, allowing a train to move from one stop to the other. The game involves the usage of simple logic that provides for comprehensive brain building exercises for kids of this age.
-
Tappy Tunes— If you are keen on your child mastering the art of playing musical instruments, the Tappy Tunes is an app that you must have. It is one of the most delightful apps that introduced them to playing real music, in the most interesting way possible. As the kid taps on the screen, the notes of a particular song are played out. And, all the kid does is control the speed and not the actual tune.
-
Ocarina— The ocarina is nothing else but the iPhone version of the actual instrument itself. There is the iPhone mike you need to blow as you tap on the specific spots on the screen and the ocarina can be played just like the actual instrument. The challenge for young players is to modulate their breath and coordinate the taps in tandem, creating a melody.
If you are more inclined for educational apps, there are choices available as well! You can select from apps that deal with alphabets, rhymes, numerals and so on. Just make sure your little one enjoys what you choose, and has a whale of a time!
