I spend quite a lot of time searching for new and fun iPad apps for Dubs. I think the iPad is his favorite toy of all time actually. It's a great way for what I call "lap learning" and I thought I would share my favorite apps. They are in all different categories...learning, fun, stories, entertainment. This list will change as he grows, but these are my favorites for right now. Enjoy!
Very cute little British lady with animals, vehicles and such playing Peekaboo. I kind of want to meet this lady because she is calming and cute at the same time. Love the "Autoplay" option that allows you hands free option.
Just bought this one recently and I know he is too young for it, but it got great reviews so I took the plunge. Walker cracks up when the monkey flips and it is educational for the future...teaching colors, matching, counting and puzzles. Cute graphics also.
Peanut Butter Bob Gets in a Jam by Frog Dog MediaA story time book that cracks me up. The narrators really go all out with their characters and it's a cute short story. Parents flip the page and I think this one will be a hit for a long time to come.
Zoo Tap by Gigabud LimitedIt's funny how babies liked things pointed out to them. This app does that with different animal groups and plays their sounds. I enjoy the peacock noise myself.
Nighty Night by Shape Minds BerlinThis might be one of my favorites. Very soothing, again...those British people can narrate! You can either use Auto Play on this one or it can be interactive...or both! I love options. The graphics are adorable and the story is good for bedtime.
Splish Splash Inn by Short StackWalker loves numbers and I know where he gets that from with Chad's "Math Problem of the Day" mentality. This little fish goes from room to room counting different sea creatures that make cool sounds when you touch them. They all have a big party at the end and who doesn't like a party? Cute app.
Fish School by Duck Duck MooseAgain with the numbers, but this one also has letters, shapes, matching, play time and colors. Score! Duck Duck Moose Apps are the bomb. Great graphics, awesome content and it's fun learning.
Itsy Bitsy Spider by Duck Duck MooseThis was one of the Apps that started it all for me. So cute and fun for interactive play. Just a cute song, some creative creatures and a Chloe the Fly explaining things way above my Dubs head, but one day....he will tell me that the sun is a giant ball of gas and I'll know he learned it from a fly named Chloe.

Another obsession in my son's world is the alphabet. This app got great reviews and the graphics are really neat. I think this is one he will continue to grow into. The robot dances...and who doesn't like a robot that can dance?!?
See a shopping theme here...yep, another alphabet app. These little characters are so cute that I want to invite them over to hang out. Except for Matthew the miserable mouse...he can stay away, but Chelsea the charming young carrot can come hang anytime over at Holder Haven. Super cute app where the parents read, no auto play.
Okay, that's it...if you guys have other apps that your kids/babies/toddlers love I would love to hear about them!
Here's the list again...in no order! :)
