Boston Baby Mama: M's Favorite iPad Apps

Monster At The End Of This Book

Surprisingly I never read this book when I was small, but it was my husband’s favorite book as a child. And now it is M’s favorite book/iPad application in the world. She listens and watches it at least 5 times a day. This fabulous interactive tale is narrated by everyone’s favorite Muppet superhero, Grover, who unsuccessfully tries to stop you from turning the pages so as not to get to the aforementioned Monster at the end of the book. Your kids will like it, you will like it. Get it now.

Elmo’s Monster Maker
If your kids like Elmo half as much as M does, get this app. It really is just hosted by Elmo, not featuring him, but he does pop up to play once you make your own Muppet Monster. It does take up a shiteload of room on your iPad, so you might not want to keep it on there all the time.

Tap Tap Baby
I stumbled upon this last week and M goes straight for it now when she is on the iPad. It is simply 4 different screens that your child can tap on – a house, a monkey face, shapes and animals. With each tap comes a corresponding signal – that will drive you crazy if they are a quick tapper like M is, but it is tons of fun for kid. Be sure to look for the fireworks page hidden in the house play area.

Itsy Bitsy Spider, Wheels on the Bus, Fish School and Park Math
I cannot say enough excellent things about applications made by Duck Duck Moose. They are incredibly well designed, very kid (and parent) friendly and a fantastic learning tool. Itsy Bitsy Spider and Wheels on the Bus take your child through the classic kid’s songs and allow them to interact with the spider or on the bus. They are fabulous, they are fun and are a must have. Fish School teaches your child her ABCs and 123s, as well as colors. There are also other games to play within this app, that are a small advanced for M, but I know we will use this frequently when she is a small grown-up. Park Math is for kids who know the basics of together with and math already, which is a small beyond us so we don’t use this much at all. If you kid id 3+ I am sure they will get a kick out of it though.

Talking Hippo
This free app is terribly annoying, but M likes it so I keep it on the iPad. The cool part about it is that the Hippo will really repeat whatever you say to it, which blows M’s mind each time. Other than that, you can tickle it and make it do some other things. Not my favorite as the sounds aren’t simple on the ears, but it is free, and she likes it.

Baby DJ
I reckon I like this more than she does…this allows baby to make a song by 9 different beats. She simply taps on the record of choice and the song starts, and when she taps on another, a different beat is added to the track. It is baby school fun for the inner DJ is me, and she likes it for all of 20 seconds and then moves on, but it was free so it stays!

More to come soon!!
