I've got an App for that!

Tonight I realized that my daughter is pretty much addicted to my Iphone App, Tozzle.  I have had games and apps on my phone for her for about a year now and we only use them once in awhile in dire situations like really long lines at the grocery store! But ever since I purchased the full version of Tozzle she BEGS to "play games on Mommy's phone!"  And out of the whole page full of games I have for her she now only picks Tozzle!!!!

For those of you not familiar with the App since it is fairly new to me, here is the description from the apple website:
Looking for something entertaining but also educational for your kid? Then Tozzle is the perfect App for you! This puzzle app is built for children from age 2 - 99.
It keeps your toddler entertained and he/she learns to improve shape recognition and motor activity.
Choose from 39 different puzzle pictures, all including funny sound effects.
It's really easy to use. Just let your toddler pick one out of 39 colorful, child orientated puzzles and let him / her solve it by drag&drop. Once a puzzle is solved your kid can play around with the sound effects by tapping on the figures. 
An exit button on the bottom left brings you back to the selection menu. 

This program was tested by several toddlers and we took their suggestions seriously to create a funny but educational app for them.
If a child can't find the right place for a piece, a helping arrow appears after the third try so every child can solve every puzzle.

Look forward to relaxed car rides, you´ll never again have to drive AND entertain your kid, you can concentrate on driving while your child is having fun with Tozzle! 

If you want to see Tozzle in action, just search for "Tozzle" on Youtube.
I guess if you want to see how it works check Youtube! But your child is given a picture with pieces missing and they have to drag and drop the pieces in the correct spot. 
Here is a screen shot from apple.com also: 



 I am AMAZED at how fast my daughter was able to pick up on where the pieces go! Some of the puzzles are pretty tricky and every time you add a piece, another empty one appears! But she LOVES it! And I highly recommend it for $1.99! My husband searched his phone (he is not fortunate enough to have an Apple product) and unfortunately couldn't find it in his list of Apps.  But check it out for your Toddler if you haven't already! Older kids might even like it too!
