iPad Dads - top 5 free apps for preschoolers

If you're a dad and have recently splashed out on a new iPad you'll be pleasantly surprised how many apps there are for kids and especially young kids. Because of the iPad's screen size, touch-screen operation and general robustness it makes it "the perfect toy" for young kids. It is probably one of the most versatile electronic toys you can get for you child (not that you need electronic toys to have a happy child ... but if you happen to have an iPad anyway you might as well use it together with your child). So here's the official DIYFather list of top iPad apps for preschoolers:

1) "Music Studio Lite" - awesome play a musical instrument experience with a keyboard and various instruments - really great fun to play around with

2) "My first puzzles HD Lite" - do jigsaw puzzles on the iPad ... easy, fun and you'll never again lose a piece that you then vacuum up a few weeks later!

3) "I hear Ewe" - great app to explore animal sounds and play guessing games (great for toddlers as well)

4) "Kids can match animals for iPad" - essentially a memory game (with animals) on the iPad, great fun (also exists for fruits, instruments, letters, etc)

5) "iPaint Infantil Lite" - a (finger) painting programme ... it's the ultimate painting experience for kids without the mess for parents.

And then there's of course Dressify which is great for mums, dads and preschoolers :-)
