If you have an iphone, it is very handy to have a few apps for children to keep them entertained in a pinch. My husband has one and we have used it numerous times to keep our two year old busy- it was a life saver once while we were filling out some paperwork at a bank. I’m pretty sure Santa is bringing me an iphone this year (I have been a good girl, after all) and I will be sure to put some fun stuff on it for my kids. I just downloaded the freebies from StoryChimes so I’ll be prepared!
