channels and static toys. Parents can now utilize mobile

applications to keep toddlers happy, busy, and learning at the

same time.

child can learn and mimic the sounds an animal makes, in over 10 different languages. Fun, easy to use, and well-reviewed, this is a

great start. Gotta love those barnyard critters.

simplistic and colorful stylings. Toca Boca is a great developer that keeps putting out fun games for kids.

be accustomed to in terms of gameplay. Getting to the exit as fast as possible is the name of the game here, only it’s done with

simple physics to give children fun without too much of a learning curve.

One of the highly reviewed games for children, and even by some older kids, this game is a colorful romp through LEGO Duplo toys.

The point of the game is to drive through train stations, and choose elements that come together. After that building new tracks is a

breeze. It’s like playing with Duplo toys, only in an animated format.

Monster Math

Monster Math has a very “cartoon” feel to it. It flows through various animations and young ones love it. Learn math with

specialized mini-games, explore worlds and battle through while learning. It never feels as though you’re playing an educational game here, as there’s a lot of action. The power of math is the main weapon of choice here, and it really engages youngsters.

Learning to write letters is very important for kids, and this helps with animation in mind. It teaches the full alphabet with simple to use tools, and animated patterns to help get the letters down to a

science. Writing will be picked up fast when the squiggly lines improve over time with this application. It’s fun and educational.

Jetpack Joyride

Every little one dreams of flying. This game lets them do it safely. The game is all about taking off into the skies, and it features

several different jetpacks to give it a try. It’s not an educational game as much as it is a game of curiosities. Children pick the jetpack and see what each one does, flying through various animated areas. It’s a frenetic and fun game. This game is a

classic in the iTunes Store.

what happens as they make sounds in an animated manner.Cristoph Niemann’s art is the main focus in this app, giving the

illustrations a fun approach.

Hoopa CityHoopa City is very much like a real time strategy game, with a

small learning curve. Children are given a blank slate and they get to build a fully working city from the ground up. It’s been simplified

for younger children, but if you’re familiar with Sid Meier’s “Civilization” game, then you may get the feel of the intent here.

It’s not as complex as the adult version of strategy building games, so don’t worry. It’s done in a cartoony, simplified, and easy to move

style.

Dr. Panda’s Toy Cars

Children get behind the wheel of various cars and see what lurks around different areas. Several city levels are represented, and

each one holds a different surprise to find. Children can use their imagination as though they are driving real toy cars in this

animated fun app.

This easy game beats to a new drum, so to speak. Music based gaming is what you get here, and a child needs to simply tap to the rhythm to progress. Kids get to pick from a selection of songs and

styles, then tap along with the animations to score points and more. This is a fun music game that mirrors many other

mainstream console music games.

Bubbles

Perhaps one of the most fun games for toddlers, this is like bubble wrap presses. The animation is simple, easy to fall in love with, and pop. Children touch the screen and bubbles pop. The bubbles keep

coming, and children have a load of fun as things move around, animate, and pop with each press.

shapes, hear sounds, and play for hours.

instruments. They can learn how to play and recognize sounds through various animations, and sound libraries. This may get a bit

annoying for parents, but for toddlers, it’s a fun game to bring music to life.
