8. Khan Academy and Khan Kids
Ages 3+
This one was recommended to me by an amazing Mom I know who’s (almost) 3 year old who happily chooses this educational app all the time. There are two versions, ‘Khan Academy’ for ages 4+ and ‘Khan Kids’ ages 2-7. Once you download the app, you’ll select the specific age of your child so the app can be tailored to their unique developmental stage. Khan Academy (nonprofit) designed this app to provide a world class education for free, with quick lessons that return you back to the home screen - so it isn’t designed to be addictive. There is a library of books, learning materials, art activities that all use the ‘head start’ approach to learning.
As if we needed another reason to love this app, there are even multiple studies coming out showing increased learning due to this app! Take a look at this article.
Pro Tip: Click the "Offline" button in the top right corner to access the games you can use on Airplane Mode.
This app even offers a ‘teacher’ option, where you can assign and track your child’s progress - perfect for distance learning. Unfortunately, you’ll have to hook up to the internet for this feature.
While your kids play this WiFi free game, you can listen to music or make phone calls with the airtube wired headset.
