**(When I downloaded these apps they were free, I cannot guarantee if they started charging a fee.) **
Personally, I’m over the Angry Birds frenzy. How about you? For the next few weeks I’m going show you 3 apps that my daughter (she’s 3) and I enjoy. Most of these apps are directed toward the little ones, but there are a few along the way that your older kids might like as well.
Like most free games on iTunes, they are not the entire version. They want to get you hooked so you’ll buy it. So, far that hasn’t affected our home and we are happy with what we got.
The first one is called ABC Animal Puzzle Free. This game is compatible with an iPhone and iPad. This is not a complete version. However, still very playable for your younger ones. It’s a puzzle game. There are 5-9 piece puzzles. Besides the puzzle you are learning animals names, for example there is an elephant puzzle and it says ELEPHANT when you are completing it. Also, on this app is a Memory Game. (Click the bubbles on the bottom right corner to activate the menu). There is a stickers & score card section that let’s you know which puzzles you’ve completed and how long it took.
Baby DJ – this one can get a little annoying after a while, but is still cute! This app is currently available for the iPhone and iPad. Got a little musician in your house? Here’s the app for you. There are 10 options on this one. Anywhere from a lion to an octopus. Even Santa Claus makes his way onto this app. Once you choose an animal, the next screen opens to 9 “records” (like the good ol’ black vinyl records). You touch a record and it spin and start a beat. Then as you continue pressing the records, they sync up. Then press them again and that record turns off. Each animal has different beats.
The last one for this week is Glow Draw! Again, this one is available for the iPhone and iPad. All kids love to draw and this app is kind of like etch a sketch. You draw and then shake your device to erase it. On the lower left you can change colors,make your line wider, put a background of your pictures loaded on your device and save or email you pictures!
Fun FREE apps for kids! Now it’s your turn to share you favorite apps!
My boys (and me) love the glow draw ap. I’ve not tried the others. Will def check them out!

Hi Amy – on the above site I found similar versions to “Glow Draw” and some Animal ABC but not a puzzle. However, I unfortunately did not find anything for “Baby DJ”. Hopefully, I helped out.
Glow draw looks like a lot of fun!
Thanks for the info!
The animal puzzle app looks like fun.
so great. I have been looking for apps for my daughters.
This is a great list and free is always good.
Thank you! My son loves playing with apps on my phone!
thanks for sharing!!
I bet mine would love the glow draw app. We are huge fans of apps here in this house
Thanks! My daughter would love them!
Thanks for sharing we’re always looking for new apps for the kids
Love those! I do wish they had more Android Apps.
My son loves the puzzle app!
I can’t wait to get a tablet or I Pad to get some of these for the kids
I bet the Glow Draw is fun.
Fun! I’m always looking for free apps for the kiddos.
I think my favorite one is the Glow Draw app!
I never really got into the angry birds craze…in fact, I don’t have many games on my iphone or ipad! I use a lot of creative apps – like that draw one! – and utility apps. The few games that I do have, they are all the free versions and I’ve never even been tempted to upgrade!
PS – I love your header!
We haven’t tried any of these but my 7yr old would adore that Glow Draw app for sure!
Great suggestions! Thanks for sharing.
