If you don't follow our blog or our
YouTube Channel, you may not know that we travel often. Very often. Almost every weekend often.
We have a 5 year old son, and our daughter just turned 2. I wanted to share their favorite apps. The ones that get us through road trips and nights in hotels.
Some of these apps are FREE, because I love free! Who doesn't?
All of these apps are
Kindle compatible, and they also work with any
iPad. (We use Kindles for traveling)
Most of the apps on this list are FREE, but this one is a whopping $49.99. Yes, I know.
You remember that series from the commercials from when we were kids? Well, now it's an app.
We love this app! I hardly ever spend more than $2 on an app, but this app is so worth every penny. Not only does it help kiddos read and learn phonics, it also doesn't require internet to run. This means that the kids can play games, watch videos, and read in the car. All while learning! This one is my favorite. Hands down.
This app is completely FREE, and my toddler loves it. It plays videos from their favorite PBS shows, like Sesame Street. This app does require internet, so it doesn't work in the car. It's great for hotel rooms, though. My toddler can navigate the app on her own. Great for keeping her entertained while I'm getting her big brother and myself ready for the day.
When I tell other moms that Kindle has children's books, they are blown away. I can't tell ya how many moms don't know about all of the FREE kid friendly books. This app is FREE and theyre are plenty of FREE books. We love this for car rides, and it works great for bedtime stories in hotel rooms.
Another great FREE app. This app is a simple coloring app, with lots of colors and textures to choose from. It doesn't need internet, so it's perfect for the car.
This app is one of my son's favorite. You match each colored dot to the matching dot. This game is addicting, and helps time pass during long trips. The app is FREE and doesn't require internet to play.
This FREE app brings back some nostalgia for me. I loved to play Sonic when I was a kid. This app doesn't need internet, and my son loves it. A great game to keep kiddos occupied.
(....and us nostalgic parents also)
This game is more for older kids. My son loves this game, and I love that it was free and doesn't require internet. It's a simple game that can get pretty hard. I actually enjoy playing this game also. You aim at glass pieces while you're moving. Give it a try.
This game pretty much speaks for itself. This game is pretty calming for my son. There's no time limit; and no losing in creative mode. He can build all we wants and he cant get upset about losing a level (since there is no wining and losing) He can easily play this for an hour and be content the whole time. A total win when we're traveling for multiple hours.
The Audible app reads books to you. Even kids books. There is a fee for this one, but it's great for road trips. The kiddos can listen to a book while they doodle.
