Dan Russell-Pinson makes, in my opinion, some of the best fun educational apps in the app store. We haven’t reviewed Presidents vs Aliens yet, so I am including a description from the developer, but I can tell you my son has had this app for months and it is a lot of fun. I mean who wouldn’t enjoy learning about Presidents when it involves a chance to fire Presidents heads at incoming Aliens!
Presidents vs. Aliens makes learning about the presidents fun! As you learn presidential facts, quotes, nicknames and historical events, you can use your knowledge to help the presidents defeat the aliens. Fling the presidents at the aliens to knock them all down. Use the many special objects and “Executive Powers” to increase the fun!
You earn a random president for every successfully completed level. All of your presidents appear on your own personalized screen. Try to collect all 44! As you earn more presidents, you begin to unlock the free bonus games: Heads of State! and Executive Order! Three games in one!
CONTROL YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE: You can select which types of questions are asked. Younger kids can start by just focusing on identifying the presidents. Older kids and adults can delve deeper into historical events and presidential facts.
LEARN BEFORE YOU PLAY: Presidents vs. Aliens provides 44 informative president flash cards. Use them to brush up on your presidential knowledge before you play or as a handy reference tool.

Our favorite educational app is Stack the States. My eight year old has learned so much from that app!
There are so many…anyone that can be used in multiple ways. One of favorites is FIRST WORDS INTERNATIONAL.

My favorite educational app is probably Stack the States, but ti is a tough call. ;-)
I dont really have one but my son LOVE Stack the States and has learned so much.
My daughters current favorite is Alien Buddies. There are a lot of good educational apps, so it’s hard to pick a favorite.
dexteria right now as I’m using it with all 3 kids, but it really depends on who im working with and what we are working on, and what hey like!
Sky safari- thanks to the information on that app, I just took a photo of Venus transiting the sun for the last time until 2017 <3!
My favourite educational app? I’ll pick one of Owen’s because he’s the toughest critic in our house, app-wise. First Words: Vehicles. Letters and transportation – always a good combination for him :)
At the moment I am really loving the new Ruckus Media readers :-)
I love grasshopperapps.com apps. They are wonderful for younger children or children with more severe cognitive challenges. Best part is, they are VERY affordable for parents and therapists alike.
