Android Apps for Kids

If you checked my last post about the best apps suitable for kids on iPhones and you think that you can’t actually have them because you don’t have any Apple product, you can still use apps that are good that are android based. Here are some of the best apps for you.

AniWorld Lite

This app is good for kids between the ages of 1 and 5. If you’re beyond that age, it doesn’t mean you can play it but it will be really easy for you. This is because it is about teaching the children to name some of the animals displayed and will have the chance to virtually pet them and feed.

iStory Books

The name might be familiar to you because of the “i” on the name but it’s actually available on android phones. This is suitable for kids who want to read and learn interesting facts they never know. There are common storybooks like Cinderella and Dinosaurs. There are 11 free books as soon as you download the app and new ones every 2 weeks.

Ant Smasher

This app can also be played with adults aside from children. The goal of the game is to tap the ants to kill them before reaching the food or on the other side of the phone. It is suitable for kids with ages 4 and above. Just make sure you don’t tap too hard or you will break the phone screen.

Kids Numbers and Math

Want to learn math in advance? This app teaches you the basic mathematics before you can actually learn the hard ones. There are many exercises offered. This doesn’t only show numbers but pictures as well. Studies show that images are easier to remember than numbers. This is why numbers are mostly associated with images like apples and bananas for fast learning.
