Let your baby DJ
Posted on January 31st, 2010
DJ Baby is a well put, nicely developed simple app for playing DJ. Some loops and different sounds, a turntable for scratching and, there, you’ve got yourself a little DJ set. Fun to play with for a while, and do some little music in a very straightforward way.
The app is now on sale, so go ahead and spend those cents for your kid to have some music fun.

More from the developer’s site:
Your child can play a track and mix in samples & scratches created specifically by our very own “DJ Daddy”. Change records on the animated turntable and enable 3 bonus scratch sounds for each record. A hidden easter egg is waiting for your little DJ to discover. Hint: Shake it! (iPhone Only)
Your child can explore and discover new combinations of sounds and have fun doing it!

Canupa Animals’ Band
Posted on January 28th, 2010
The Canupa Band Deluxe iPhone/iPod Touch app is cute, fun and really well put. Choose between a series of different animals and instruments to play with in a fun and educational way. Limited notes on the instruments are a help for easy compositions. The illustrations look great and there is always something funny to be expected from the little animals.

Sound Shaker, a delicate sound experience
Posted on December 20th, 2009
Here is one of a kind app. Sound Shaker is almost like an interactive art installation, mixing shapes, sounds and interaction beautifully. Peaceful, harmonic and yet entertaining this is certainly a nice experience we would like our kids to have. Make sure to see the video bellow to get a better idea.

Itsy Bitsy Spider, the musical coloring book
Posted on December 5th, 2009
Here is another app on the Itsy Bitsy Spider, this one a coloring book. Although the nice music, my 3 yo had a hard time choosing the colors on the pencils. I imagine it probably will work better for older kids.
If you like this one, make sure to look also for The Halloween Coloring Book, from the same creators.

Baby Piano, music for babies and beyond
Posted on November 30th, 2009
Here is nice and well structured music app that will help introducing the basics of music for our little ones. Regardless of being called Baby Piano — which I figure helps people identify it with their first and very successful app Baby Flash Cards — this app works very well for toddlers too, helping them learn the basic scale, record their own songs and beyond.
With not many choices of music apps out there, this is certainly one of the best options!

Itsy Bitsy Spider! From Duck Duck Moose
Posted on October 28th, 2009
Here is another great app from Duck Duck Moose, the creators of “Wheels on the Bus” and “Old MacDonald“. Just as the others, this is an interactive story where kids touch parts of the scenario to see it move and react, as the song goes on. Great graphics, great music and very entertaining, specially for the little ones.

Farm Idol, quick and simple fun
Posted on August 30th, 2009
Farm Idol is yet another iPhone app based on farms and animals theme, something that really seems to live widely on the kids imagination and thus is always welcome. On this app, the fun is simple and quick. Choose an animal and tap it while tilting your iPhone to get different music notes out of it and create instant songs. Something to keep your kid entertained and having fun, at least for a while. 
Farm Idols, from PawPaw. $0.99
Old Macdonald had a farm…
Posted on August 6th, 2009
And we can see it in this iPhone app!
From the same creators of Five Little Monkeys, Old Macdonald asks kids to choose which animals that belong to the farm and the ones that don’t. Nice song and beautiful art, teaching music, words and shapes. The only part my 3 y.o. found a little difficult to control is the spinning wheel where the animals are chosen. It’s worth the money and the download.

Five Little Monkeys
Posted on July 14th, 2009
Although my kid enjoyed watching the monkeys jumping up and down, I found that this app adds little in terms of education or mental challenge and makes not a very good use of ones time. The songs and characters are fun but it does not go beyond that.

Wheels on The Bus, sing and touch
Posted on July 4th, 2009
Here is a cute book with sing-along songs and simple but fun interaction. Different scenes ask for different interactions such as sliding the doors, moving the bus and so on. Options to hear the song in several languages and even the option for you and your kid to record your own version!
