There’s a world of apps that are safe and fun for kids as well as educational
Ask any parent and they’ll tell you that one of the hardest things is educating your child while allowing them to have fun. There are hundreds of websites and apps dedicated to doing just that but with so many things on the internet accessible, it’s getting harder to monitor what kids are watching or playing. To help you choose the best educational apps for your kids, the Big Daddy team has picked out their top picks.
