The Guardian is a leading, and well respected, newspaper in the UK, so when I came across their list of 50 best apps for kids – well, I had to take a look.
Out of the 50 apps listed every one was available on some form of iDevice (iPad, iPhone or iPod) with a couple also available on Android. Luckily for us in the US, only 2 were available exclusively in the UK.
It’s a great list and has some of our new and old favorites, so we thought we’d include the list here. To read more about the list and insights into the apps, check out the orginal story

My children love Dr. Seuss and Toca Boca so I would love to try the Dr. Seuss’ Cat in The Hat Color & Create as well as Toca Boca train and Toca Boca kitchen. Actually, I would like to try a whole bunch of these, but those are my top 3! Thanks for the list!
I would love to try Numberlys
I would love to try Numberlys!!!
I would love to get Barefoot World Atlas .Aiden maybe only 3 but he is so into the world and how things come about. He amazes me. Yes he like silly things but he loves how things work, how they are made. So into learning! Ty for the chance! now bus time
Barefoot World Atlas…..my daughter is into looking at road maps just for the fun of it, and is addicted to Tropisound’s Wood Puzzle USA Map! I know she’d love this one! Thanks for the chance.
