Top 25 Android Apps for Kids

Got an iPhone? Best iPhone Apps for Kids

You may view your Android phone as a communications device, but your kids know that it's actually an awesome mobile gaming center. When you're caught in traffic or facing an unexpectedly long wait at the pediatrician's office, you are going to hand over that phone. The kids will be happy, you'll be relieved, and, if you choose your apps carefully, they might even learn something while they play. On a safety note, while some of these games have the option to network with other players, I don't recommend that for kids. Let them know they shouldn't select anything that says "Share" or "Sign into a network." Did I leave out your favorite? - Sonya Mukherjee

    I released a litte app, which I developed for my own kids (3 and 6) to let them draw and paint:
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.zielkes.colorized
    It’s free and does NOT show any ads. Free hand drawing is enabled on a random basis only in the free version, though.

    Take a look at the bluedroid kids apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=bluedroidkids

    No ads, they also put a button lock their apps. No more worrying about your kid calling 911 while they’re playing the game in the back seat.
