kristen, If you are looking for a game along the same lines of “I hear ewe” .. there is a PC game called ” The Meadow ” which locks the keyboard and turns it into a soundboard for toddlers.. has awesome graphics to keep the children entertained..

look over at http://www.clicktoy.com to see a small video of it in action.

I'm the guy behind Tantrum Apps. Just want to thank you for the mention. Yes I'm a dad, daughter is 2.5 and another one on the way in May.

If you'd ever like to do a giveaway with some free promo codes, please let me know. I love to help out other parents.

I really hate to bring up something on the negative side of this, but are you aware of the serious dangers from electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that cell phones (and i-phones, and blackberries, and other wireless devices) emit? If not, I urge you to educate yourselves and rethink the benefit/risk ration of toddlers using wireless technology. Here's a good place to start:

And here's a good follow-up: http://www.naturalhealthstrategies.com/cell-phone-safety-presentations.html

Granted, when playing games on the phone, your toddler doesn’t have it against his head. But brain cancer is not the only danger. When your little one has the phone in his or her hand, the radiation can affect the blood negatively and possibly DNA as well. It’s invisible, but real, and not something to mess around with.

I don't have an iphone(I have a blackberry) but there have been many times when my son(almost 2) just wouldn't sit still. I went to youtube & found him mickey mouse clubhouse & he would sit still! Best thing ever!!

THIS WORKS!!! I'm a children's pastor and had a crying 3 year old during our Christmas Program this year. I gave him my IPhone and he sat and played for the rest of the time. He wasn't totally quiet though and did speak up really loud and one point and asked if he could buy a new game! He was at the app store and needed my password. I almost got the giggles at this point!

Hi (I'm new) – I love my iPhone and even I have found the apps excellent – waiting at the doctors, or in a queue – I whip out my iPhone and check my emails or play a game. Keeps me occupied. My 17 year old son couldn't live if I took away his iPhone (not my husband I think!!).

I've see others who use their iPhones and iPod Touches in the same manner. I have also found that it help teens as well – when they only have an iPod that plays music and they are bored so they want to play games!

Apple has done a great job supplying parents with good ways to help maintain sanity…..So how did our parents do it?

Great idea, but be careful. The microwave technology that powers cell phones is dangerous for growing brains. Don't let her put it up to her head too much. I never let my kids play with our cell phones. Sorry to be a stick in the mud.

Wow, I wish they'd had things like this when my kids were little! Thank you for hosting.
