With Christmas being a great time for gifting, tablets have made it into more homes than ever before. Interestingly it is a multi-generational device with many seniors too taking to it. Kids are the one who have the most fun with tablets. They explore a variety of apps for watching videos, playing games, making music and art, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
As the popularity of apps grows, more studios are coming out with apps, though not all are suitable. Some actually have inappropriate content, while others are just not interesting. If an app can hold a child's interest, it's a great bridge to help the child learn via play. Apart from dragon games for the iPad, here are 4 other interesting ones:
1. Dragon Brush
2. GeoDash
3. Dragon Story
4. Where's My Water?
Before using any app, do make sure it's suitable for your child. You should feel comfortable letting your child play on her own. Play along for a short while to see if she likes it and if it's age appropriate. Read a few reviews before installing the app. Ask among your peers to see if any of the kids are using it or ask your child's friends or the parents. Many of these games might have a short informative trailer. Watch it. Lastly, if your child is clearly disinterested in it, move on, find a more suitable app.
