Zeroing in on the right app for your kids is, we agree, a difficult choice. The number of options available in the market are aplenty- and to click install and download seems easy- but are we sure about the apps our kids use? Are they really educational and entertaining for the kids? Well, here's help!
We at KSP- tell you all about the new ones releasing in the market- tried and tested- and how good they are (or in some cases, how they are not!) for your kids to use and have fun! And in that series- we are going to be a roundup of paid apps (now, don't frown!) that are actually worth a shot. As a parent, I too tend to filter by "free apps" when I am on the lookout. But we must tell you this- some of the best apps are lying silently in the Paid section and we handpick the ones that are worth your time and money.
This week we tell you all about Toca Boca's apps for kids and why they must find a place in your phone storage!
More than 6 apps from the Toca family were voted by Techadvisor as one of the must have apps for kids in 2018 and to the must have 23 apps for kids of all ages by Stuff. The emphasis is always for children to grow in a non-competitive environment.
