Kid Scoop
15 Great Apps for Kids
According to Apple’s app store, they offer over 500,000 apps available for download.
That certainly makes sifting through and finding great apps for your kids more than a bit challenging.
I rarely find apps by browsing through iTunes. Instead, I ask friends which apps they’ve downloaded and loved or I read app reviews to narrow down my options so that I don’t waste money on a game that’s simply not worth having.
Today, I’m sharing with you kids’ apps that I’ve downloaded and think are worth recommending.
I’d love to hear your app recommendations in the comments!

Paulina commented on Jan 13 12 at 3:51 amI am curious to hear if any of you have tried Toca Boca’s apps, e.g. Toca Kitchen, Toca Store, Toca Robot Lab and Toca Hair Salon? Not sure how well-known they are in the US.
Best,
Paulina, Community Manager at Toca Boca
Matt commented on Jan 13 12 at 10:11 amI second that, surprised no Toca apps on the list. And no Alien Buddies? Our iTunes featured Alien Buddies app has nothing but 5 star user reviews & a major update on the way – happy to send you a code to check it out!

Noa commented on Jan 13 12 at 4:05 pmThanks – very useful list! Definitely beats Angry Birds, which my 5-year-old chose to do an art project about. It’s *so* angry, he’s calling it The Angry Angry Bird…
I guess his next project will involve pigs. Or he might venture into the fruit territory as a homage to Fruit Ninja
Ruckus Media commented on Jan 17 12 at 11:15 amSpot the Dot by pop up artist, David A. Carter, is such a winner for kids. It teaches color recognition and is great for special education needs.
