We’ve written before about iPhone and iPod Touch apps designed by parents to keep the wee ones busy and busy parents sane.
Geek dad Darren Murtha created the Shape Builder app to keep his four-year-old amused. If the video demo is any indication — Murtha’s son puts shapes of animals and figures in place accompanied by his own merry made-up sound effects — it’s a winner.
Designed for kids age three to six, Shape Builder provides 120 puzzles including musical instruments, fruits and vegetables, animals and the alphabet sounded out by a speech therapist.
Available on iTunes for $.99.
