Fun Smart Phone Applications for Kids
By brooke, June 27, 2011, Family & Kids, For Moms, Gadgets & Technology
iPhones, iPads, Androids… I think they are taking over the world. Well, ok not the world, but maybe our lives. And if you look around, it seems like these life changing gizzmos aren’t just for adults. I’ve seen more and more children, even babies on their parent’s smart phones. Now, I’ll admit I have recently fell victim to this strategy. The way my daughter navigates around my iPhone playing Elmo songs on YouTube is amazing. So instead of fighting it, I’ve embraced it. Not only can she learn a thing or two, but it keeps her occupied so we can actually finish a meal at a restaurant. So if you too have joined this revolution, here some apps for toddlers to keep them learning and best of all occupied.
