Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 09, 2012 — This list compiled by Kids Activities Blog identifies free educational apps for kids that parents can download for their children’s entertainment learning. The best apps for kids are the ones that can keep them engaged and learning.

Now more than ever parents are handing over their phone or iPad to occupy children. Tech-savvy kids are not fooled by bright colors and flashing lights. They expect real games with intuitive play. This makes it even more difficult to find apps that sneak in learning as well.

There are language apps that teach and drill letters, phonics, grammar and vocabulary. 50 Languages, Dictionary Flashcards, iStorybooks, Practice English Grammar, Speak Spanish, Beginning Sounds, Letter of the Day, Phonics Genius, Phonics Tic-Tac-Toe, and Sight Words List all made the list of kid-friendly free apps that teach language skills.

The math apps cover math drills and mobile math learning games. Geometry Eye, Kids Math Lite, Kids Numbers, Math Formulary, Pocket Math, Ace Kids, Motion Math, Pizza Fractions, Rocket Math and Tangram are free apps for kids that teach and drill on math basics.

Science apps are diverse in their teaching. Brain function, science facts, space, nature, weather, assembly and the periodic table are all things covered in the free apps for kids that Kids Activities Blog found. 3D Brain, Fun Science, NASA, Nature Facts, Science Facts, Animal Fun, GoSkyWatch, Periodic Table of Elements, Science 360, and Self Assembly all made the list.

By checking out this list of free apps, parents might find something that appeals to their child making mobile learning easy and free.

    hey everyone,
    Decades of research have documented that play has a crucial role in the optimal growth, learning, and development of children from infancy through adolescence and taking that in mind, Itchy Fingerz is proud to present its latest educational application for children.

    I Know My Animals is an interactive educational application that teaches your children to recognize animals and their sounds. Once your children are accustomed to the sounds, you can test their learning through a fun quiz and cheer them on for every correct answer. The first version comes with a set of 8 farm animals in an interactive farm setting waiting for your children to tap and explore the world of learning. To help your children learn about more animals, the worlds of ‘Safari’ and ‘Water’ are coming soon. So tap, explore and educate your children because it’s time to know your animals!

    Download yours today!
