When I was a child I was always taught a phone is not a toy and so I have always made this a rule in my household as well. Only when my daughter was alive her and my nephew always wanted to use my phone to play games on but I would not let them.
Now that I have Charlie things have changed and my sister is always letting him play on her phone and this makes him want to play on mine as well which I am not crazy about.
So I have been watching what he does on my sisters phone and I thought, well it might be OK for him to play on mine as well. So I am glad I signed up for the "Kids Shape Puzzle" application as he is enjoying it so much and he is also learning quite about with it.
He is even picking up Hebrew as it uses this language as well. Another thing I like is that there is 16 puzzles, so I can have him do more than one when we are waiting at places.
I can tell you it has helped this week when we have been out looking for a apartment and it has changed my mind about kids playing on phones. I think even my mom would allow him to do this on her phone. My son had even asked if his friends could do the puzzles and so since they are different ages than my son I decided to let them try it and they loved it as well. Braxton is 2 and had no touble figuring it out and Jeremy is 6 and he even enjoyed it.
They love that it makes sounds unlike the puzzles they normally do. I am going to let my daughter know about this for my grandsons and I am going to let my sister n law know for my nephew as it makes teaching them the shapes, numbers and abcs so much easier,
