There has been plenty of debate lately about children and the use of iPads and tablets, and frankly, it is still up in the air on this one. Since their launch, tablets have grown in popularity in pre-school and early childhood education, and parents are also increasingly buying them for home use. In schools, we see children riveted during reading sessions, using an iPad instead of a physical book, with their teachers in school. And as parents, you may find that you have at some point also resorted to the tablet as a quick way to preoccupy your kid.

While there are criticisms abound regarding the excessive use of iPads among toddlers and children, there are actually great educational apps available. These apps can visually stimulate and greatly benefit your child – and possibly even trick them into thinking that’s all there is to the tablet (instead of app games like Angry Bird!). Head up to our gallery above to check out 7 apps that you should definitely have downloaded on your gadgets that will simultaneously educate and entertain your little one!
