YOUNG KIDS
COTBOT CITY
The developer (Devine Robot) of this game gave it to me and I must admit, I didn’t expect much from this game….Boy was I wrong! My kids LOVE Cotbot City.. From my 3 year old up to my 8 year old, they love to drive around in their city, explore all there is to do. It’s easy and fun. And with the change of seasons, the city changes too! Hilarious! Well done developer! There is no ads, nothing to worry about. Just an easy and fun little kids game.
I just discovered that the developer came out with another game….well now I am curious about that one as well….
Find this game on the website : Cotbot City
DR. PANDA GAMES
Dr. Panda…what can I say? A few years ago, the developer gave me the download code to one of his first games. He was not known then, and I didn’t even had an iPad to play it on. I catched up quite quick…we now own: Dr Panda’s Hospital, Dr. Panda’s Restaurant, Dr. Panda Mailman, Dr. Panda Bus Driver…and probably more…. My kids LOVE these games! My favorite is the Mailman. That one is super fun, with nice details and surprises. The games are educational in a creative way: the kids learn about the world around them by playing this open-ended game with role play elements and fun and educational task to do and to explore.
Each game is very well build, free of ads and in-app purchases. You can give this to your child to let him or her explore without having to worry about inappropriate content. Awesome!

TOTO’S TREEHOUSE
I downloaded this game because I thought this looked like fun, not knowing this is also a Dr. Panda game… It is wonderful. Especially my 6 year old likes taking care of this little cutie in his treehouse. Feed him, play with him, wash him and just be his friend. A very cute and friendly game.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGED KIDS
NEWS-O-MATIC
Developed by Press4Kids. This game is not free, but cost $9.99 for a year subscription. But this is so worth it, that I think every parent should install this on their kids tablet. I use this app almost as homework. When the kids did quite a lot of screentime during the day, then they only can play this app.
What is it? This is a news app geared towards kids. World news, political news, fun facts, special events, all brought to you in a kid friendly way with images and videos. This app is so eductional and fun! It’s unbelievable.
Even I like to go through the pages from time to time. They have interesting facts, serious world news and everything in between. News is updated every few days. My all-time favorite!

STACK THE STATES
Another one of my all-time favorites. Here the kids have to answer questions about the States of America. And after that it will open more games.
When you have won all the States, you can play “Map it!”. Here you get the map of America and you put the States on the right spot…. Shocking how difficult that is! My son came to 18 points, and I couldn’t get any further than 3 points. I was so ashamed, that I practiced and now I can put all 52 States on the right place! HA! That was really fun and educational for young and old 🙂
