Do your kids play with your iPhone?

I've let my son play with the iPhone since he was 2 yr olds. First it was to look at photos or watch movies. Then we realized he could play games. He likes Henry and Hailey's preschool pals, a mix and match game. It has nice sounds and great art.

Yeah, I get a bit scared when I see my young kids swinging around my iPhone with some of the apps as well!

One app I found which was a lot safer for them to play is just the simple old card game snap - the app is called WaKi SNAP. At least the phone isn't flying around and needs to be on a flat surface! But the best thing about this game is that because it's a 2-Player game, it keeps TWO of your kids occupied at the same time! That's until they want me to start playing with them as well...haha!

Also, if it's helpful, I wrote an article about safety tips for letting your child use your iphone. It's practical advice, probably things you've thought of if you're already letting your child use your iphone, but if you're a newbie to sharing technology with your little ones, it might be helpful.

Our three year old loves playing with the iphone so much that we designed games just for him. We've been amazed at how he has learned how to navigate the phone. We watched how he played and just released three games that he hand his friends love playing! They're designed for 3-5 year olds: Lil' Marbles, Lil' Snowman and Lil' Pinata. We think they'll be big hits with the five and under crowd!

My 20-month old loves to draw with Scribble, Erica's Moo application, More Cowbell and Bubbles, and she's beginning to enjoy Face Melter as I put better pictures on. She can definitely flick through photo albums. She's very careful with the iPhone and never drops it, and only occasionally holds it hostage until I can barter something valuable for it, like a security blanket.

I am a child who plays with my Dad's iPhone. In return, he doesn't have a clue how to encode things so I handle that.

The iPhone is all the rage in my household. My three kids, ages 6, 4, and 11 months, all play with our two iPhones. They play DizzyBee, TanZenLite, ShakeNBreak, Sketches, SpaceMonkey, Trism, de Blob, Chopper, whatever. They also like playing with the ringtones and flipping through pictures.

The 11-month old absolutely loves KoiPond and likes to watch the older two play.

The first thing the older two say when we get in the car is, "Mommy, Daddy, can I play with the iPhone?"

I let my 5 year old play with my iPod Touch, she walked out of the room with it, and I haven't seen it in a week. I have no idea where she put/dropped it.

Bad idea.

Why is iSaber not available in iTunes? I have it but my friends cannot download it because it is unavailable.

Copyright issues maybe?

I must warn you, some of you will be scared by the thought of this... When my three year old was two and half I gave her my iPhone to play with. Yes, gave it to her while I was driving (no way to get it back). What happened since then was quite amazing. She took to it like a duck to water. She knows how to flip through photographs, play movies, listen to music, play Super Monkey Ball, and even call people -- that's a problem.

So it is with much pride that I was able to give her an iPod Touch. No, I didn't buy it, I traded my 80GB Classic for it. So now she's plugged and tapping away. I think she's pretty amazing, but I'm her dad :)
