S/O iPad thread

I really like the Counting 123 app that cl8badb recommended - it has some sort of rainbow caterpillar thing as the icon. LO is decently into that one.

He hasn't really enjoyed many of the other apps. He hasn't been at it for long, so he doesn't have the touch screen skills yet to really enjoy some. I'd love for him to love all the Endless apps - the numbers, reader and letters, but he just can't get into those.

this - I think I tried to get her into the Endless ones too, but doesn't quite have the skills yet. She loves the Fisher Price apps - some are more educational than others..

I went whole hog and downloaded all the Endless Reader, Endless Numbers etc. ones.

She's has gotten really good with the matching of letters to themselves and how to manipulate the iPad. The number one has absolutely helped with her counting too. I was getting nowhere with them and then after a few days of playing with it she started counting things.

I don't know if I should be ashamed that it's a better teacher than I am... but it works.

DD can't figure out Endless Reader either. Too hard for her.

It took M a while too but the little creatures kept him interested. Now he can do it but it took a while

Tiny Hands Apps--Toddler bundle (sorting, matching, etc.)

He gets frustrated with the Endless Numbers because they are a little small for his hands, but he does well with Endless Alphabet because the letters are bigger.
