MyTime Calendars

This application has been an absolute find for my toddlers. My kids ages 18 months to 4 years old have just loved it! It has been a life saver at doctors offices, long banks lines (or any lines for the matter!) and even while waiting for older siblings to finish up whatever activity they are invloved in that leaves us waiting around. It has 6 different games that involve numbers, colors, shapes, body parts, matching and sounds.

The colors application has very simple color shapes scattered in an ocean that when tapped on, they turn into a sea creature that then moves or does something characteristic. The numbers game is a simple connect the dot game with numbers up to 10. Your preschooler doesn't necessarily need to know all the numbers though because the line points to the next appropriate number. So it really helps them identify sequencing by following the line. The shapes game has little hidden "shape aliens" that pop up from craters when you touch them, announcing their shape. The Body part game has a monkey that has his body parts scattered around him. When you touch the body part, it slides into place on the monkey and when you're done, the monkey makes a funny sound and moves. The Matching game has an animal that is split into three parts…as you brush you finger across one of these three section, it brings another type of animal into play…when you match the animal up with it's correct body, the animal says or does something. And last, the Sounds game…this game has different animals on a farm. Everytime you touch one of the animals, it makes it's animal sound and moves. You can even put sunglasses on the sun or make the clouds rain!

My kids have really loved this game and after several months, they never seem to get bored with it! My 18 month old can't speak well yet, but she knows how to find this game on my iPhone and she knows how to work it! So it is very intuitive. You can download it through iTunes for $.99…a definite bargain!
