5 of My Favorite Free Kids iPhone Apps, Toddler Style

I made the decision to switch to an iphone a few months back and I am loving it! I can classify myself as a "mobile mom", I am always on the go and love staying connected and having information at my finger tips. I am also super frugal, so I dislike having to pay for fun apps, most of which are unnecessary. Thank goodness for free apps, I can share fun, learning and a little technology with MJ. Here are a few great free iphone apps I have come across that my toddler loves:

Sprout Player - Straight from the PBS Kids Sprout channel, this free app is just as great! It has great podcasts of all of your preschoolers favorite Sprout shows. MJ can easily scroll through the shows and select the one he wants to watch. Includes favorites such as the The Sunny Side Up Show, The Good Night Show and The Many Adventures of Mr. Mailman. Good for road trips or other long periods of wait time with an antsy toddler.

iWrite Words Lite - This cute app teaches handwriting while playing a fun game. Your toddler traces different numbers, letters, and short words with his/her finger and shows what he's written. Once he gets the character right, each one is spoken as it is completed and a cute little picture appears, as well as lavish praise. This one is upgradable, you can pay $2.99 for the full version with advanced features.

Shape Builder Lite - This is a preschool puzzle building game that has MJ dragging and matching shapes to their correct location on the sihlouetted puzzle board to reveal a picture. Once he finishes, the picture comes to life! Shape Builder encourages cognitive thinking and fine motor skills plus exposes young minds to new music instruments, animals, produce, objects and the alphabet in a fun and engaging format with LOTS of fun sound effects! This one is upgradable for access to even more puzzles.



Echo - This Simon Says inspired memory game has you watch and listen to the colored buttons in a sequence, you repeat them in the correct order. A new step is added each time, so it gets pretty difficult! Great for kids to work on memorization skills.
