Fun Learning With iPad Apps

The iPad has made learning more fun for kids through educational games apps. It's no wonder some parents don't hesitate in shelling out cash for iPad purchases. Here are some apps that kids will certainly enjoy and that will make parents happy too:

Play Zone app (Free)
Through four different characters (princess, athlete, doctor, and firefighter), preschoolers get to learn and practice basic math skills, as well as apply their skills in observation and figuring out patterns through the six games within each character. The Dress Up game explores the different outfits and tools of each character. The Discover game allows the player to watch animations to learn more about the chosen character. The Spot the Difference game challenges the preschooler to spot the differences between two similar pictures. The Addictive Patterns game introduces the player to identifying patterns and recognizing the next item in a pattern. Add Fun is the app's addition problem game, while Take Away is its subtraction problem game. The last two games make learning basic math fun for the preschooler through the use of visual images of the math problems.
Farm Joy & Co ($1.99)
This app is designed for children two to six years old. It lets kids explore the differences of the four seasons in a farm setting. The player can touch buttons to see the seasons change, hear the noises different farm animals make, and engage in an interactive activity specific to a season (such as building a snowman in the winter). There are also three educational games in the app. It has 12 animal puzzle games where the player just drags a piece to the right spot and it will lock in place. It also has a memory game using farm animals and vegetables. The last game, a hidden object game, is perhaps the best reason for spending cash for iPad apps such as this one as it will keep youngsters occupied for hours while learning and having fun in the process.
Geo Bee Challenge ($1.99)
Do you want your kid to be a geography whiz? Maybe send him or her to the next Nat Geo Bee? Then why not download the app from the masters themselves, the National Geographic Society? Your kid will surely enjoy the three games found in one app. There's a round where your kid can choose from multiple answers. You know the app won't repeat questions because it is packed with more than 1,000 questions. Of course, as expected, there's a map challenge round where the kid can locate specific places from a map. And then, there's the bonus round where the player will guess the location of something from an interactive map. This is certainly one app that will let your kids enjoy learning.

Getting these apps is easy and affordable, so think twice before you sell old iPad, unless you want to get rid of the old one because you are buying the new iPad. Kids will surely appreciate the iPad more with these educational apps.
