Android Apps is growing millions day by day with apps targeting all age groups and in almost all fields. As a blogger mom and a gadget freak, I almost try different apps on my smartphone and tablet, saving the ones that are good for me and my kids, and moving the rest to trash.
When it comes to downloading apps for my toddler in my Samsung tab, I prefer to chose what I feel will be the best for my kid ( as many of you) . An android app that will be entertaining, educating as well as taking less space in my gadget. I found the following android apps best suited for my toddler and hopefully will serve as a guide for parents who are searching the same and reading this post.

123's ABC's is a pleasant little app that young students could use to work on distinguishing and composing letters and numbers.I likely wouldn't have students use it on phones only on the grounds that I think they would require more screen space to draw on.123's ABC's is more qualified to tablets than phones.After all thank you so much for your apps review. :)
ReplyDelete~Helen Martin.
The first picture has an ad on it. Not ideal for toddlers.
ReplyDeleteMost of the well made apps do have ads on it. One way to make it safe for kids to play is to disconnect your WiFi before giving your kids to play.
DeleteIn that way, ads do not appear. Hope this helps!
