Why We Love Kids Academy Apps

* I received a promotional item in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post may contain affiliate links.*

Since we got an iPad at the beginning of the year, the little kids have really enjoyed using it.  Right now, my iPad gets used more by the kids than me.  (Thankfully that will change after the holidays, thanks, Santa!),

With the kids using it all the time, you can bet that it is filled with kid friendly apps, and most of them are educational. I am all for my kids learning things when they think they are just playing.

We recently checked out 3 apps from Kids Academy and they have quickly become some of Ellie’s favorite apps.

ABCs Alphabet Phonics & Montessori Learn to Read App for Toddlers

Kids Academy Reading & Writing

Ellie loves this app! She loves tracing letters, doing the mazes and exploring.

Preschool and Kindergarten Learning Kids Games Free for Toddler

Another Ellie favorite, mainly because she can trace letters.

As a mom, I am a fan of both of these apps because Ellie is learning her letters and numbers as well as how to write them and she doesn’t even realize how much she is learning from them but I do!

Bingo ABCs alphabet phonics song with farm animals cards for toddler free

This app will have your kids singing for days! Ellie is not only learning to read and spell with this app, she is also learing songs. Since being introduced to this app, she sings BINGO all the time.

All of these apps are free in your App Store and of course, you can purchase upgraded version of each that will unlock more fun for your toddlers.We use our iPad and educational apps as part of our every day homeschool preschool and love everything they have taught our kids!
