Why am I asking myself that? Because I hear other moms say that they look down on parents who let their kids use iPhones, iPads, DSs and other devices when they're at a restaurant... and I do it. I totally do it. I let Jack use my iPhone so that he'll sit still when we're somewhere I need him to just chill. Yes, when he's playing he's not interacting with the rest of us but he's also not crawling all over the floor or begging to go home.
If you're like me and you allow your kids to geek out when your out and about then you'll appreciate the family of apps below.
And to answer my own question, No, I'm an amazing mom and I'm doing the best I can which is pretty darn great!
This app allows little fingers to tap their way through all of the different steps you'd take to bake real cupcakes - and kids LOVE it. From the different liners and batter to the hundreds of goodies you can decorate them with, the experience is fantastic. If you have an iPad then get CupcakesXL.
Maverick Software's More Pizza!
Now that you've eaten your desert it's time for dinner! Pizza is pretty much as fun as cupcakes and kids enjoy it in the same way. You have so many great options of dough, sauces and toppings that kids tend to crack up the whole time they play. Once you make the pizza you can eat it or send an image of it to friends.
Maverick Software's More Salad!
Like the Europeans do, let's eat our salad now that we're done with dinner and desert! If your child won't eat salad in real life this is a way for them to get a little more comfortable with their leafy greens. Add regular or funny toppings, like gummy bears, different kinds of greens and then toss it all up. Kids love the easy way they can customize everything so easily all the way down to the plates and table cloths.
