You should check out the Baby Translator for iphone/ipod touch for those Dad’s that are a bit baby challenged. It helps converts baby talk to English, well it’s good for a laugh anyway, and dads love that!

Thanks Cymbal and Jeffrey - great to see some iPhone Apps creativity out there that originated from children's ideas!

My kids love it too. My daughter (8 yrs) actually wanted to make her own games aswell. She gave the idea and original idea, I just did some programming... It's a speed game where you try to eat a leaf by tapping the screen.

Now she wants to do a hairdressing game - I guess this is one way road for me :)

My daughter love the iPhone so much I signed up for a developer account and start writing apps for her :) I'm such a geek, check it out, a great matching game with frogs and sounds: http://tinyurl.com/ce3ano

Hey Robert - amazing isn't it. Our 22-month old just worked out how to play youtube videos (on my laptop) ... he actually moves the mouse pointer to the little preview clips down the side and then double clicks on the video he wants to see.

I also just posted another article about the iPhone being used as a baby monitor. The application areas for iPhone and kids never end :-)

I regularly let my kids play with my iPhone. It is a routine of sorts when they run in to our bedroom in the morning and see it sitting on the nightstand.

My 3 year old is remarkably adept at using the phone; picking it up, swiping to unlock, swiping through multiple screens to get to favorite apps like Topple, Koi Pond and Barnyard Buddies.

This was learned rather quickly with minimal guidance. Quite a testament to the device’s ease of use I thought.

All of my kids are very gentle with the iPhone as I made a point of letting them know that it is both valuable and fragile.

I convinced my wife that I should get an iPhone because I would be able to entertain our son in restaurants. He is 3 yrs old and his favorite apps are Henry and Hailey's Kids ABC, Bolt, lightsaber because you are never too young to be a jedi. Set some ground rules with lightsaber or else they want to wave it right out their hands. I make our son sit down when he plays with the iPhone.
