mudraesque: What's App: Baby Flash Cards from eFlashApps

I would like to think I am a techie. Not because I am well-versed in tinkering with any software or hardware. I just enjoy using every piece of gadget that I have. As a matter of fact, I've had my iPhone for almost two years now and model upgrades later, I am still using it. I don't think I'll find a better phone than this.. well, except for a newer model but that's not in mind at the moment.

The latest "toy" I bought was also an Apple gadget which is the iPad 2. It took me several days dreaming about it. My husband, JF, told me if I really need it and I can pay for it, then by all means, I should buy it. Though I haven't given much thought on JF's words of wisdom, I bought it without hesitation. Now, not only do I love my iPhone but I also love my iPad 2 as much. Little girls, 9-year-old SJ and 4-month-old SI both feel the same way as I do. Yes, that's right. My 4-month-old has her own set of apps too!

The first set of apps I downloaded from iTunes are baby friendly. Never did I knew that moms nowadays do utilize the iPad to entertain their kids. I found the eFlashApps' Baby Flash Cards app very nice. So did SI. You can see her ear-to-ear smile as soon as she hears the word "APPLE" until the last flash card "ZUCHINNI." I am so entertained in return.

The pictures are in high-resolution. The diction of the speaker is just perfect. You can even set the options into a game format wherein you will choose which picture corresponds to the word mentioned by the speaker. This is definitely great for parent-child interaction. Real sounds are also incorporated in some of the pictures, such as that for an ambulance.

With only a minimal requirement of 18.2MB memory, you will be delighted that your child will get to learn 450+ words! SI is still in the food items category and a little on the animals category. Hopefully, we'll go through all the categories, such as alphabet, transportation, numbers, colors and shapes, clothing, household items, body parts, outdoor items, music instruments/arts and learning, in a few months time. Baby Flash Cards 2 is also next in line. I will not be surprised if my little girl would learn how to speak (with an American accent) before she turns one.
