Nice apps. I have two kids and they are crazy about Heidi Alpine Adventure. It has loads of fun and educational games and no in app purchases. You can find it on iTunes and Google Play.
Thanks Kelly! Great List 🙂

Thank you for the app recommendations. I am old school and have not embraced fully technology. I kind of enjoy the freedom of being disconnected. ASM may change that. I look forward to using some of these apps.
We have a free kids Math game called Box Drop Math Addition, a fun game for mastering math facts that is now free in all the app stores! We’d love to hear what you think of it:
