Any good suggestions for a time waster for your kids? Currently we let him play bowling on the iPhone, but looking for what other people have/used?

Thanks,
 
My kids hands down favorite is Peggle, after that is varies on their ages (i have a 13, 10 and 5 yo).

But they all play Peggle on their Nano's, broke the clickwheel on my Video playing it, and now play it on my Touch when i let them.
 
Since I'm one of the developer of Tozzle I can recommend it :)
It's also rather a game for younger kids:
iTunes link to Tozzle
There's also a lite version available:
iTunes link to Tozzle Lite

Here are some screenshots:

We got a lot of great feedback for this app. There are even some videos created by users available on youtube, just search for "Tozzle".

@shauncampbell if you are interested in reviewing Tozzle just send me an email to tozzle(at)nodeflexion(dot)com
 
I would suggest you Kinder Hangman to play with kids, this is itune link It is an iPhone application of educational type designed to develop vocabulary of children. It helps them to remember new words easily. So, if you wish to have clever kids this iPhone app will be exactly what you need. Hope you will like this suggestion!
 
Ice Cream Man!

I created an app for my 2 and 5 year old called Ice Cream Man! It plays the songs of the Ice Cream Man and allows the kids to stop the truck, select a treat and eat it. My kids still seem to like it.

Oh. And before they know that you bought it for them, you can play the songs to trick them into thinking the Ice Cream man is coming. See, fun for adults also.

Hyper Math Extreme

Here's a cool math game I found the other day. It's probably geared toward 3 - 8 year olds but I have a two year old that REALLY enjoys the explosions and touching the numbers, ect.

Here's the link to it on Itunes, or you can search "Hyper Math" in the app store.

I hope this helps!
