First Words is perfect for that age.

Great youtube video btw of Ethan playing the iPhone!

For your 2 year old, she will totally dig Shape Builder (4 star average with 980+ ratings - the Preschool Learning Puzzle Game (Apple Staff Favorite)) and if you have an iPad, it's even better on that since the pieces are so big:

This "Drawing Pad" app may be too advanced for her but it is "kid friendly!"

cute, kid app pitches are great, but mobile phones and rock tshirts aren't so endearing.

Ye bought iPhones for your kids? Are ye made of money or wha?

yeah just tell 'em to go outside. They get infinitely more value out of a snail or a cat.

Isabelle, playing in her tent outside, shouts over to me "Hey dad, I'm pretending I have a mouse's nose". "Ok dear," says I. Then the cat pounced on her and scratched her on the nose and lip, drawing plenty of blood and causing hysteria

I know a cool coloring book for kids Color Me, has a lot of images in different categories, my three year old son loves it.
Next great educational app this developer –Dots4Tots offers four different modes of play and hours of entertainment for toddlers! It does this by providing a screen full of dots and numbers that need to be connected to make a picture. This app teaches your children Animals, Shapes, Letters and Numbers.

Is there any way of getting movies that you didn't buy onto the iPad?

For entertaining children on long car journeys and such.

Is a Nexus any better in this regard?

I ask Thumped because Thumped knows.

Can I be pushy and ask what "handbrake to iPad friendly" means?

 

[pete]

download handbrake & use it to convert to ipad format - it's very easy
