"Mommy, can I play a game on your phone?" are words that I hear every time we leave the house and a twitch of boredom has struck one of my kids. My iPhone is loaded with kid friendly iPhone apps to keep their anxious hands busy for a few minutes. Since all three know how to use the camera, they particularly love the iPhone photo apps. Here's a round-up of some of our favorite kid friendly iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch photo applications.

Dr. Seuss Camera Cat In The Hat Edition App (Compatible with iPhone 3.1+, iPad and iPod Touch). This colorful Dr. Seuss app let's you flip through 16 Cat In The Hat themed cards to create decorative photos you send via email. You pick a card, take a photo or load it from your library, add some optional decorations and then send.  When your taking a photo, the card choice is visible so you can take a picture perfect to fit the card!
