I have been looking for something nice and simple for a long time for my toddler to use on the ipad. Finally I found Shape Up! by busythings which he adores. All he has to do is trace shapes on the screen to make characters come to life. The Nosy Crow fairy tales are also fabulous for toddlers. I have found there are so may dull apps out there for very young children. Can anyone recommend any other apps for this age group?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

The Animals of Mossy Forest, Nighty Night and Little Fox Music Box. All lovely, well crafted apps: Hand illustrated, nicely animated and good music (and not chintzy). Our daughter is three now and I think the first two mentioned above were the best when she was a little younger. Little Fox is probably better for three and above....to get the most out of it anyway.

Hi You all must try out hip hop hen's apps - available on app store. Really fun and educational. My three year old is obsessed.
Also pip and posy's app is fantastic but not as educational.

I couldn't find anything musical that was fun for all of us to crowd around. My kids love dancing to their own voices...! Thank goodness

Hi there, I developed this app for preschoolers learning their first words. Its a memory match game with just over 200 words in English and French, more languages coming soon. I appreciate any downloads and constructive reviews, Thanks!
