Best Toddler Games… my choices and plea for suggestions
So I have a kid, he’s 3.5. And he’s growing up in a digital world. Which means is that often the piece I use to cajole him into doing things he’s supposed to, but doesn’t want to include a chance to play with daddy’s toy [my phone/tablet].
But like all toddlers he gets bored easily. So he likes to do new things, and try new stuff. [even weirder he’s developing some weird ‘fears’ of things that he used to like — like Angry Birds Hallowe’en]
So I’m always on the look out for something for him to play. Here’s my attempt to elicit some suggestions from you, by providing you my choices thus far:
- Angry Birds – loves it… although has been having an aversion to the Seasons version [he doesn’t like hearing them talk]. Great to watch him learn how to pinch to zoom and knows all about which ones do which… and how.
- A Monster Ate My Homework – only likes it because the noises the blocks make, and that you can throw about 100 balls at them at once if you tap REALLY REALLY FAST.
- Fruit Ninja – but only because he loves to see my reaction when he slices the bombs…he knows he’s not supposed to.
- Sketcher Lite – he likes drawing… this one’s on my phone
- Bord – for drawing on my tablet
- Cut the Rope – although he refers to it as ‘snap the rope’, and loves to play the one level over and over [just loves the animated fellow]
- any video IM program – though we really haven’t done much on it, but he does love being on Messenger, or gTalk etc… on the computer – so it’s applicable as well.
- Youtube – he is so adept at being able to navigate on the web version it was only natural that when he saw the app icon on my phone/tablet he had to use it too. He could be entertained for hours on the web in this way.
