Best iPad Apps for Preschoolers: Part 2
Last year, I was on the hunt for the Best iPad Apps for Preschoolers and found a ton of great resources and apps. Since then, we have found a lot more that we love so naturally I had to create another best iPad apps list! All of my best iPad apps are available in the iTunes app store. Most of these educational apps are free but, if they aren’t, they are definitely worth their price!

My preschoolers have the mobigo thingy and they love the clean up the ocean alphabet game!
I use Story Buddy when I teach. I also like My Story. Have you tried that one?
Great round up! I need to get my preschooler into these games vs. just making “cupcakes” on my iphone lol 🙂
