For Preschoolers

I find kids apps and gaming for preschoolers a polarizing topic; you either love it or hate it.

I have known and spoken to parents who have laid down strong boundaries regarding gaming

Confession – I now find myself in a family that has a strong culture of video games. Don't get me wrong: we do play outdoors; we do play creatively; we learn; we celebrate. However, truth be told, gaming and apps also feature in our day-to-day family life.

I don't want to demean the culture of apps and gaming. Apps and gaming are where my boys are at, and I want to meet them there.

Top 5 Apps

Here are our Top 5 Math apps for preschoolers, as tried and tested by my family (husband & boys: gamers to the core & me: teacher and avid app user).

Monkey Preschool Lunchbox by Thup. My kids have played this so much that I can probably sing the app’s music to you in my sleep. This game is fun. As well as counting, it also covers letters, matching, differences, shapes and colors. The sticker rewards after every lesson are fantastic.
