The Best Apps for Kids (According to MY Kids!)

While we share lots of kids crafts, imaginative play ideas, and early learning activities here at B-Inspired Mama, there’s no denying that we are a connected family.  We love our technology.  We’re always having family movie nights with our Netflix, or reading chapter books with our eReaders, or playing games on our tablets or phones.  And I’m okay with that…  because I closely monitor their technology use and see that there is a lot of learning happening, too.   I thought I’d share our favorite (mostly) educational kids apps with you.   So without further ado, here are the best apps for kids (according to MY kids!)…

10 Best Apps for Kids at B-Inspired MamaThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Staples. All opinions are authentic and my own. Please see my disclosure policy.

10 Best Apps for Kids

  1. Toca Kitchen (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Ever wanted to play with your food? Now you can! Toca Kitchen lets you cook food for four hungry characters. Pick any ingredient and prepare it in your own way! Slice, boil, fry, cook, microwave or blend? It’s up to you!”
  2. Where’s My Water? (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®, PC, Windows® Phone)
    “Help Swampy by guiding water to his broken shower. Each level is a challenging physics-based puzzle with amazing life-like mechanics. Cut through dirt to guide fresh water, dirty water, toxic water, steam, and ooze through increasingly challenging scenarios! Every drop counts!”
  3. Pirate Scribblebeard’s Treasure (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Watch the pages come to life as your child doodles their way on an adventure filled with bumbling pirates, hidden treasure, beards (yes, beards), and their very own pirate ship!”
  4. Wild Kratts Creature Power (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Dive into the world of animals with the Kratt brothers in three awesome animal adventures! Explore special creature powers in these engaging games, as you pollinate flowers as a bee, bathe elephants, and feed a family of raccoons.”
  5. Tizzy Seasons (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Learning about the Seasons of the Year has never been so much fun! With this beautifully illustrated imaginative play app from Tizzy Labs, you will be able to help your child explore their natural wonder and curiosity of life as they experience Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.”
  6. Avokiddo Emotions (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Give your children a serious case of the giggles when you introduce them to a zany zebra, shy sheep and jolly giraffe. Your children will discover these emotions and more by dressing up, feeding, sharing toys and interacting with their new-found digital friends using over 100 uniquely themed props in this endless play funhouse.”
  7. Reading Rainbow (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Introducing the re-imagined Reading Rainbow experience – featuring an unlimited library of acclaimed children’s books and video field trips.”
  8. Phonics Island (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Phonics Island is designed to teach children initial words sounds as recommended by the Montessori method. Through a simple game of loading a train with animals and sounds, children learn to identify letter sounds and match them to their orthographic form.”
  9. Pepi Doctor (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Pepi Doctor is a cheerful medicine-themed role game where children play a Doctor and cure three little patients Amber, Eva and Milo. It’s easy and fun to be a Doctor in this game: the player will explore over 20 doctors’ tools and get to cure five different diseases in his chosen sequence and at his own pace.”
  10. Drawing Pad (Available On: Android™, iPad®, iPhone®)
    “Turn your Android device into the ultimate, take-anywhere canvas with Drawing Pad. This complete mobile art studio delivers a beautiful, easy-to-use interface, a robust range of artistic tools, and high-definition graphics that allow artists to create the next masterpiece, designers to sketch out ideas, and the rest of us to doodle away to our heart’s content.”

 

Best Apps for Kids + Google Nexus 7 Tablet from Staples at B-Inspired Mama

All of these apps are available on a number of devices including the Google Nexus 7 Tablet.  Staples recently sent us a Nexus 7 Tablet to try, and we’re loving it!  The kids love using it for their favorite apps and ebooks.  And I love how it’s loaded with all of the Google Apps I use for business.

What would you and your kids add to this “Best Apps for Kids” list?  What is your kids tablet or device of choice?  I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!

    Though I allow my kids to use their ipads, I still put limitation and control over the usage and the apps downloaded. Parents should be responsible enough to do that.
