Their little brains are like sponges, after all! In fact, the AAP does not recommend the use of any screen media (other than video chatting) before 18 months of age, and for children 2-5 years old, they recommend limiting screen use to 1 hour per day of high quality programming. As we all know, one-on-one time and imaginative play is of monumental importance at this age. We’ve not only included our written recommendation, but also included a trailer video for each app so you can easily get an idea of the general concept – making it easy peasy for you to choose you favorites to download before that upcoming 6-hour road trip.Įditor’s Note: We want to stress that we are not advocating the use of tablets and apps as a substitute for real life situations and socializing with your child. These are apps that you do not have to feel any guilt about handing your child when the going gets tough, because each of them truly fosters educational (and sometimes even emotional) growth…not to mention they are all extremely fun and super engaging!
We’ve searched high and low, tested with countless subjects, and objectively experienced all of the best digital apps on the market and have pulled together our recommendations for the Top 10 Best Educational Apps for Toddlers and Preschoolers. Well Mamas, we at What Moms Love are here to help with this conundrum, and banish that mom guilt that often comes with Screen Time once and for all. Yep, we’re talking about Screen Time, and specifically, how to make the best of it for younger children. One of the greatest struggles we’ve experienced as parents has been how to foster digital savvy-ness in our children – while we don’t want to shield them from today’s latest technology (hello, iPad!), we want to make sure that what they’re experiencing is still helping their little brains grow.
