The American Academy of Pediatrics recently updated their screen time guidelines, no longer banning it for the under 2 set. Instead, they’re encouraging parents to set limits and be smart about tech use. While we’re not condoning apps instead of playing with, reading to and interacting with your baby, we also know that a few minutes with your phone or tablet can make or break your first longhaul flight, help tame squirmy diaper changes around the 10-month mark and calm a fussy 1-year-old while waiting for the doctor. In these moments, we say embrace technology and let your little one try swiping his tiny fingers through these simple and engaging apps.

The Wheels on the Bus

If you've got a fan of The Wheels on the Bus, this app will be a hit. You can listen to the song and see accompanying, interactive graphics. Older babies and toddlers will enjoy the nine other games too - you can drive the bus, color the bus and more.
