1. Toddler Maze 123 Ages 2-6 Overall rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars Why we like it: Twenty well-designed, extremely simple mazes are found in this excellent starter app; ideal for introducing even very young children to the mechanics of multi-touch screen operation. Need to know: This is an excellent app for younger children that provides a solid spatial learning experience, though it would be nice if children could see the trail of their fingers. Ease of use: 10/10 Educational: 8/10 Entertaining: 9/10 $1.99
