Teaches how to draw letters & numbers correctly.
Such a nice list !!!
Peekaboo Barn is a favorite with my son who is just under two. He can unlock my iPhone, advance to the right menu, and launch the program by himself! Amazing.
TouchPets kept my 4 year old godson totally enthralled while waiting for over an hour at the garage. Just the basic version. He loved playing with the dog. He also likes the touch physics types games and Monkey Ball, as well as Blocked.
My 13 year old little brother prefers FPS now, but also Monkey Ball 2
My 4y and almost 3y old son, they love to play Giraffes Matching Zoo, it’s a memory game, it’s free and they love the funny sound effects when turning blocks.
Very nice list. But most of the games are too complex for small children. I found out that my children do not care about high scores or even scores in general. Our favorite game ist LittleFish. It’s easy to handle and very nicely made. It’s the most selling children’s app in the CH-App Store for many weeks now. Cheers, Jennifer
Interesting point of view…
