Also, don't forget to set up screen time limit for your kids. Subscription prices mentioned for various apps in the pages to follow are subject to change, and can vary depending on your country.

Geared for children ages 2 to 7, the app is set in an ocean world with a tiny pirate named Lio as their guide. There are over 500 interactive games and learning activities (centered around early literacy, science, math, art & creativity, as well as social-emotional skills) for kids to download first and then play offline. So parents can download the games they like—for their kids to play with them offline.

Packed with everything from monkeys to koalas (alongside cats and pigs) as interactive characters, this clearly exotic island is the background to learning how to recognize colors, today’s weather, draw numbers, discover animal sounds, for example—with the main character Lio and his friends, including Emma and David guiding kids through everything.
