We all know that we want to limit the time our children spend in front of a screen. However, there are times when we're in a pinch and need to diBaby laughing with cell phonestract or busy our kids. Why not make the most of that time and give them something to play that is entertaining AND educational? Lauren Coleman has compiled SpringfieldMoms readers' favorite apps for toddlers. Enjoy, and tell us about your favorites!
