Top apps to keep kids entertained while travelling
We all have moments when we travel that we need to find a way to keep the kids entertained and quiet.
Here are a few of my favourite apps for children under 10 :
Pacca Alpaca Travel Playtime – 2-6 years
My kids love this app, so many different activities to do and all while learning about new places and languages. With 50 different games its a great way to get them excited for travel or to keep them entertained on long journeys.
Toca Blocks – ages 4 and up
This is a great game that lets you create fantasy worlds with colourful blocks. Kids love it as it provides endless possibilities and great for parents as it encourages creativity, helps with eye-hand coordination and assists with basic maths.
Plum’s Creaturizer
– ages 4 and up
Go on an adventure with creatures that you create, 100’s of parts to choose from, let your imagination run wild. And the best part? Use your unique creature to ”photobomb” pictures that you take, head outside or round the airport to take fun
Squiggle Fish – ages 4 and up
A great app to get kids off the phones and drawing. Then have fun taking photos and adding them to your aquarium. It takes a little bit of practise to draw the fish correctly so that the app takes the photo (it takes it automatically, did spend a bit of time trying to work this out, must be a complete fish on white paper with nothing in the background). Lots of fun to see the kids creations animated and swim across the screen. Hours of fun!
Bamba Airport – ages 4 and up
A great app to prepare the kids for what is going to happen at the airport, and all while having fun! Put them in charge of airport security, serve meals on the plane, decide where to go and accumulate stamps in their passport.
Slither.io – ages 4 and up
A modern take on the classic snake games, great for kids of all ages (including me… its addicting!!). Play against other players, or against the computer, win points by eating coloured balls or by exploding other snakes when they run into you. A simple game that is easy to pick up.
