Good iPhone Apps for Kids
- by Scott Whigham on December 12, 2008 8:56 AM
My four year old, Seth, loves to play with my iPhone. He's pretty computer-savvy for a four year old and he is therefore good with the iPhone. I've found a few nice little apps for him and I thought I would share. I'm doing this for two reasons: (1) because I needed an idea for a blog post, and (2) in hopes that someone posts some other good ones to get him in the comments!
One thing: I only want FREE stuff. I'm not spending cash for my four year old to play with my iPhone. Sorry.
Here's what I've tried:
- Trivial Memory Christmas - A memory game with Easy, Medium, and Hard levels. Fun :)
- iXmas Tree - You get to actually drag and drop the balls, garland, etc onto the Christmas Tree
- i Say Free - Sort of a follow-me app - like the old Simon game
- Christmas Lights - This is just an okay game; not great but it is free!
- TicTacTouch - what kids doesn't love to play Tic-tac-toe?
- Crazy Pumpkin - a great app that he can shake and swipe; makes pumpkin jack-o-lanterns fun
- Singing Pumpkins - is what it says... You touch the pumpkin and it makes singing sounds. Cute :)
- FourFree - Basically Connect Four
- DigiDrummer Lite - a fun digital drum app
As you can see, the holidays are well represented (it is December right now).




Check out Jelly Car. Its free and fun to play.
My app, "BumperCars" launched in the App store about a week ago, and the feedback has been positive so far. It's especially great for kids (or all ages, really), non-violent, has great music and is a simple and easy to use time waster.
The link to the App store and my contact info is below.
