Watch me ramble take you through the iPad Apps Little T is loving right now.

6. In the Night Garden (Cost: $1.99)
Let your children meet up with Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka to explore the enchanting world of In the Night Garden. Dance with your favourite characters or play counting games with the Pontipines, help Upsy Daisy catch her bed or even dress the Tombliboos.
7. Dear Zoo (Cost: $2.99 )
The classic Dear Zoo story, plus lively animation that responds to your child’s touch. Two ways to enjoy the app: “Read the book” or “Read to me”. Simple, accessible and suitable for even the littlest iPad user.
8. Moo, Baa, La La La! – Sandra Boynton (Cost: $4.49)
One of our favourite e-books in this house, the Moo, Baa, La La La! interactive book app has all the magic and appeal of a traditional pop-up book, with lively interactivity and lots of discovery for little ones.
9. Peek-a-boo (Cost: $0.99)
Little T has had this app since he was a baby, but still goes back to it. Best suited for an iPhone or iPod touch so the kids can shake it easily. By pressing the smiling face or shaking the iPhone a cartoon animal will appear and make your child’s favourite animal noises. Animals include: Dog, Bird, Cat, Pig, Parrot, Duck, Frog, Chicken, Cockerel and Mouse.
10. ABC for Kids (Cost: Free)
Little T finds this one hard to navigate, but if I put the content on for him, it goes down a treat – especially the clips from Giggle and Hoot. Includes content from The Wiggles, Play School, Bananas in Pyjamas, Justine Clarke and Jay Laga’aia.
I would love it if you could share in the comments section any links to other iPad or iPhone apps suitable for Toddlers.
