That and Peekaboo Barn (which LO LOVES) are the only two I have, and I only have Baby Piano on the iPad because the phone screen is a little too small for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-250442 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 07:45:42 +0000 looch 250442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, here we are:</p> <p>The "spelling" app is First Words Animals. You see a picture of the animal, and below are shaded letters. Then you drag the letter below those to the shaded letters. Not really spelling, but it's matching.</p> <p>My son loves the read along stories, he likes The Lorax by Dr. Suess, Moo Baa La La La by Sandra Boynton and one about a Lonely Spider (it is by Callaway Arts). This also has coloring and matching games.</p> <p>There is a Thomas the Train app, but my son doesn't like that. He prefers the videos, but they can only be the ones from Season 9 read by Michael Angelis. I don't know how he knows the difference from the ones by Ringo Starr, but he does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-248236 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 21:08:36 +0000 anonysquire 248236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, I like netflix on it as well.

I only ever stream using Hulu or Netflix, so buying a movie never occurred to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-248232 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:57:42 +0000 anonysquire 248232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I am sure there is a legal way to do it. My lil bro downloaded mine from a torrent site :/ Maybe you can buy them off of itunes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-248229 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:53:38 +0000 mrbee 248229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: How do you download movies and TV episodes onto an iPad? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-248226 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:48:33 +0000 anonysquire 248226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the same way. I get way into it probably lol. I just know that is one of the easier games. As far as playing goes. Oh and make sure to download movies and TV episodes on there. I love that for slow nights at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-248222 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 20:43:52 +0000 mrbee 248222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: He loves Fruit Ninja!!

My son's 19 months, so he's younger than Charlie, but maybe you'll get some ideas from what we have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-247768 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 04:22:11 +0000 brownie 247768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is only 15 months old but he loves the free fisher price apps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-iphone-and-ipad-apps-to-keep-the-kids-distracted-during-4-days-of-plane-travel-advice#post-247757 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 01:26:18 +0000 mrbee 247757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee and I are taking the kids to the Philippines later this month. We need iPhone and iPad apps to keep the kids distracted during the 4 days of plane travel involved.</p> <p>I'd love to hear what iOS apps (especially for the iPad!) that have been a hit with your toddlers! Any recommendations? </p>
