My Toddlers Favorite Apps

It's no secret that my toddler loves the iPad. I'm thankful to say that she would (most of the time) rather be at the park or building with her Lego's, but she does like to play on the iPad. Which has sometimes been a lifesaver. We ended up caving and buying one before we went on a cruise to the Bahamas. Flying from Alaska to Miami was a long and exhausting trip for all of us. It was the best idea we had. Through trial and error over the last year and a half, we have found a handful of apps that develop her in positive ways. 

He favorite apps are the Daniel Tiger apps. "Day and Night" and "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood." If any of you watch Daniel Tiger you know that it has life lessons that they try to teach which has actually helped my toddler with a few things. These apps follow some of the storyline in the show. A nighttime routine, a potty routine, a brushing your teeth & taking a bath theme, music, etc. these apps are fun and we love them!! Oh and did I mention food? My toddler is super picky and most days I feel defeated with trying to get her to eat, but there is an episode that has a song "You've gotta try new foods cause they might taste good" and the app lets you play with food and my daughter surprisingly is a little more open to eating new foods! 

We also get her involved with church apps. Our favorites are "Bible for Kids" and "LDS Coloring Book." Bible for kids is great because it talks her through some of the stories in the bible and has play along features. The lds coloring pages gives both Old Testament and New Testament pictures to color which also give us story time!! 

I also love the Fisher Price apps. These apps are great for learning! My daughter loves to sing the "ABC" song thanks to these so I am grateful! 

We also love "CreativityStudio" by Disney. It is such a fun app in which you can learn to draw your favorite characters! It teaches you step by step how to do multiple characters and items! 

Disney Storytime is another fun one! We love to read and there are plenty of "free"

Books and plenty available for purchase!! 

And the last app that I am mentioning is "Magic Piano by Smule." She LOVES this app. It has several songs that you earn by getting good marks on played songs! 

Although we have a ton of apps on our iPad these are just a few of our favorites! 

Thanks for reading!
