Our Favourite Apps for Toddlers

When it comes to downloading apps for your young children, it's very easy to just go ahead and download everything in the kids category.

But refrain from just downloading any app. Not only will it jam up your memory, but there's no promising that the playful colouring app, or the (very) loud music app will actually benefit your child.

 

Instead, you want to be downloading apps that are both entertaining and educational to help make sure your little ones are getting what they need to develop. So to help you get started, here's our pick of the best kid-friendly apps that will keep your tot busy and learning on the go!

Toddler Flashcards
Users have a choice of 13 languages that can be used to teach your child the names of animals, foods, objects, numbers and letters. Flashcards are also interactive, with both speech and animal sounds. Very easy to use and beneficial for developing your little ones speech.

With everyone's favourite childhood nursery rhymes included, this app encourages your child to sing-a-long the six different songs included, all complete with animated lyrics page to help.
