RGB Express is the perfect pick-up-and-play puzzle game. The first few levels will help you understand the drag-to-draw mechanic while teaching you a few tricks along the way. Things get a little hectic after that, as you will come across bridges, buttons, and cargo swaps. But no matter how difficult things get, all you have to do is keep in mind that the packages must be delivered to their corresponding buildings without causing a a crash or a traffic jam.

Video Time Machine is loaded with more than 20,000 new and old TV, music, advertisement, movie trailer, video game, and sports videos to enjoy. All you need is a stable internet connection to enjoy. Spin the dials on the right side of the screen to choose a year and a category, and a video will pop right up. If you don’t have something specific in mind, let Video Time Machine choose something for you. Videos can be played over 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi, and you can send them over to your Apple TV via AirPlay.

Toca Pet Doctor is void of rules and stressful elements, so just hand off your iDevice and allow your child to enjoy the experience.
