Apps for 2 to 5 year olds
We
know that phones or tablets are part of many families’ everyday lives and kids
love to use them, but it’s not always easy to know which apps and games can
benefit your child’s learning. A quality
mark has been given to the apps below that an independent educational panel
believe have good educational value.

Choosing an app for your child – the FEED test
Fun – Will your child enjoy the app?
Will it keep their attention?
Educational – Is there a clear educational
aim? Do you know what your child will learn? Will it keep them learning and
allow them to progress?
Engaging – Will it help your child if they
get stuck? Will it give them feedback and let them know when they’ve got
challenges right?
Design – Is it attractive and easy to
use? Is it inclusive and does it avoid gender and racial stereotypes? Can an
adult change the settings? Is it safe, with links to the internet and adverts
protected behind a parental gate?
