Best Apps for Kids

Kids Activities Blog kid-tested dozens of educational apps available to find the best!

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 08, 2012

What are the best apps for kids? That is the question answered by the bloggers at Kids Activities Blog. They researched many of the educational apps for kids now available for the iPhone through iTunes.

They kid-tested many of the reading apps - for preschoolers and Kindergartners learning to read. Some of the apps mentioned are Bob Books Reading Magic, Dinosaur Train, PBS' Super Why!, Dr. Suess Bookshelf, Spelling City, Alphatots, iWrite Words, Bugs and Buttons, Jumpstart, and Smarty Pants app. Each of these apps made the list of apps that kids like to use.

Kids Activities Blog also kid-tested math apps - for Kindergartners and above. Some of the apps that topped their list were Rocket Math, Tic-Tac-Math, Playful Minds, Play 123, Fish School, and Math Bingo. All these apps were engaging enough to call them "tear-free".

Parents are finding that educational apps for kids are an easy entertainment solution. By handing a child an iPhone at a restaurant, in the car, or while waiting it is not only entertainment, but a way to sneak in some learning. A fact drill worksheet might not appeal to a 7 year old, but racking up Bingo Bugs on Math Bingo covering the same information will keep them practicing math for hours.

Teachers are encouraging students to use these tools as homework helpers. It is a win-win situation for all. Educational apps range in price from free {most free apps have limited function} to $4.99. Two of the apps mentioned in the article are subscription-based making them more of an investment.

Kids Activities Blog loves to uncover easy ways to sneak learning into play. These apps are not only kid-tested, but parent-approved! Next time your child is seeking entertainment, you might consider handing him your phone. Kids Activities Blog is a great resource for parents, teachers and caregivers.
