I’ve won another iPad at work, I can’t stand the things myself but my daughter is quite keen on keeping this one because some of her friends have them.

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps suitable for a 6 year old girl, preferably with at least some educational content? Something language based would be nice as well – preferably French or (a bit unlikely) Dutch?

Cheers in advance.
 
A 6 year old getting an iPad!! What's the world coming to :-D
 
I know, I think it a bit silly myself and wouldn’t have bought her one, but it’s free so I don’t mind so much.

She’s actually pretty deprived compared to her friends, no TV in her bedroom, no DS, no PSP, no iPod Touch, no laptop, no cell phone, so this will be her first real gadget.
 
My 4yo loves mine and its a great thing for kids to have. Loads of Disney story books which can help reading, Peppa or other kids games, Thomas tank engine has some good ones which are stories, jigsaw, colouring etc. could be a bit advanced but there is a good dinosaur one, NASA, English birds.

Have a look at iTunes as there are loads.
 
Thanks for the suggestions,

I had seen some of Joe's stuff - I'm just a bit worried there will be some subliminal 'support Liverpool' messages embedded in there somewhere!

I only had a few minutes last night and the first thing she wanted was a "top model" app that one of her friends has so we got that and it kept her happy for a while.

I'll have a look on iTunes tonight

Our kids didn't have either,I'm not having a go! I just think it'll do her no harm, but there again it's just the way things are now. My granddaughter's gona be a whiz kid with the gadgets she already phones me with her mums blackberry lol ,and she's only 16 months old!
 
We just got one for my 3 year old. She has disabilities and Speech & language problems and there are many apps that are helping her to talk and respond. Well worth it.

Dunno about a 6 year old, but I LOVE the app called Falling Stars...you draw plants and leaves on a screen and then "stars" fall and bounce off the plants making notes. Basically composing music...it is a stunning app...simple but superb!

My 6 year old loves any of the drawing packages.

Just make sure you go into the settings and take off the ability to purchase "in app"...the kids can easily spend your money!
