What are your favorite iPhone applications for kids?

I am totally underutilizing my iPod touch. I want to get a few applications for DS to play with while we are waiting or in the car. What are your favorite applications for your child and for what age. DS is going to be six in less than two months.

Sarah likes to play Falling Gems and Unblocked (which is very similar to ThinkFun Rush Hour). I know I should spend more time looking for apps, but the apps list just overwhelms me!!!

2 and 4 yr old, cute math, bubblewrap, you pop the bubbles, like the packing material in boxes! itot flash cards, baby flashcards, doodlebuddy, think most are free, but cute math wasn't but it is cool and the 4 yr old loves it, these are on my ipod touch.

We like the LL Bean Moosentration game (basically a memory card game). You can change the number of cards and the pictures on the cards. It's free.

Matches is the same idea, with a very basic free version and a nicer paid version.

Also, my husband has the Disney Toy Story Mania game -- a shooting gellery game. I think it's about $5.

Pet Pals! Amaya would play it all day if she could. It is definitely made for kids that can read though. In addition to keeping your pet alive, you have to make $$ to support them. Cute game.

Balloonimals is really cool too. Great for a boy. You have to blow in your microphone to "blow" up the baloons and you shake the phone to make the balloon into animals.

Thank you, ladies. I've have loaded up a few applications so DS can entertain himself while we wait someplace. So far Doodlebuddy the best.
