10 Children’s Apps to Fill Up Your Bigger iPad

ipad-and-children

Apple’s announcement about the launch of a new iPad proved to be underwhelming, compared to the hype and hoopla typically surrounding Apple product releases.

The new 128GB tablet doubles the iPad’s capacity, but not much else has changed with this latest iteration. The bigger, but not necessarily better, iPad is aimed at businesses, but I say it should be aimed at families as well.

Most families with children know that their iPad is likely to be in heavy rotation any time the kids need entertaining – whether it is in the car, during the weekly grocery shopping trip, or when unexpected company drops by.

Kids love tapping and swiping their way through children’s books, interactive learning games, and the numerous apps developed just for them.

So, if your iPad doubles as the “family tablet” in the evenings and on weekends, imagine what the new, more spacious  iPad can do for you.

If you’re planning to purchase the 128GB iPad next week, here are ten favorite children’s apps that can fill that extra space – and keep your kids happy.

1.  Ladybird: I’m Ready for Phonics:  Games and interactive alphabet challenges help kids with reading and pronunciation

2.  Little Digits:  Uses touch and colorful numbers to help little ones learn to count

3.  Peekaboo Barn:  Animals emerge from a bright, red barn to help children with names and sounds

4.   Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat Color & Create!:  A digital coloring book featuring classic characters and no mess

5.  Juno’s Piano:  Introduces your kids to piano before you shell out for lessons and a baby grand

6.  Ultimate Dinopedia: The Most Complete Dinosaur Reference Ever:  National Geographic’s answer to your children’s “I love dinosaurs” phase

7.  Stack the States:  Grade-schoolers can learn state locations and capitols in a way that feels more like a game than a learning exercise

8.  Princess Fairy Tale Maker:  If your child loves princesses, unicorns, fairies, and mermaids, this creative app is sure to please

9.  Make Me Smile:  Monsters aren’t so scary when your toddler gets to turn their frown upside down

10.  Maily:  Children as young as 4 years old can safely exchange email through this kid-friendly interface, helping them with communication skills
