The app displays colorful quizzes, flashcards, puzzles and games while offering positive reinforcement and fun rewards. The child-safe menu allows parents to customize game play and difficulty.
* We are HUGE fans of Toddler Teaser and if you are looking for more than shapes, I highly recommend spending the $1.99 on the Toddler Preschool Quizzing. It is worth EVERY penny! This was my oldest sons favorite app when he was a toddler and I still catch him playing it on my phone.

Bubbles is fun entertainment that’s targeted at toddlers, but enjoyed by adults too. You can hear bubbles popping, see the bubble fly off your finger and feel gravity pull the bubbles downward.
iPhone camera and videos
I don’t know about you, but here at Simply Real Moms, our toddlers love nothing more than to see pictures or watch videos of themselves. The great thing about the latest models of iPhone is that they come with a front screen camera. Great for entertaining the little ones! The best part? No need to download since the phone comes with the app already installed!
