People
are always happy to talk to you about the apps that their kids love and
come back to again and again. Over the weekend I was able to talk to a
number of mums who gave me a series of apps that their littles one play.
There are a number of really interesting apps here, some I would have
thought were too complex for toddlers, but the mums say their little
ones spend ages trying to get a handle on them. Have a look and see what
you think.
