The 7 best apps for the children of the house

When looking for children's apps for children of the house, we find that Apple has not thought about them. Unfortunately there is no specific section to see which of those offered can best meet the interests of our children. If you know what you are looking for in particular, there is no problem because you type it in the search engine and that's it.

But if we are looking for an app to entertain the little one and that can interact, How do we do it? We have selected a few applications for the little ones in the house (From about six months or so). It is recommended to lock the iPad / iPone so that you can only access the screen by overriding the main button to continuously exit the app. At the end of the article you will find how to do it.

• Talking Pocoyo. There are countless programs like this, but this is one of the most complete along with the version Talking Duck (Pocoyo's companion in the series), since it has music, musical instruments, animal sounds. And obviously, if this little gnome dressed in blue has been so successful, it is because children love him. Price: Free. Offers in-app purchases.

• Pocoyo TV. Excellent app that allows you to download up to five episodes of the series for free and carry them on your iPad / iPhone without having to download it each time. You can also watch and download up to a total of 52 episodes, of course, paying in advance. The children of the house will spend long moments having fun with the stories of Pocoyo and his friends. Price: Free. Offers in-app purchases.

• ClanTV. For children who cannot do without this TV channel, RTVE has launched this app to be able to watch all the videos of the little ones' favorite series. It also has a section for coloring pictures of children's favorite series and the possibility of taking photos with their favorite characters from the series. Price: Free.

• Sound Touch. When our children begin to experiment with sounds and especially noises (when they throw everything on the ground, over and over again, to see how it sounds) this application in which we will find different sounds classified by categories: domestic animals, wild animals , birds, vehicles, musical instruments and sounds that you will hear at home such as washing machine, refrigerator, keys, telephone among others. Price: Free. Offers in-app purchases.

• Rattle. As the name explains, it is a rattle for children. He has three models: the classic one, the “star wars” one (it makes the same noise as laser swords) and the teddy bear. Price: Free.

• Baby rattle. Application where you will find a variety of scenarios with animals and objects that move around the screen making sounds for the child to interact with the screen. Price: Free. Offers in-app purchases.
• Happy geese. We couldn't forget about children with disabilities. Happy Geese does not help to play with children who have attention deficit problems, down syndrome, autism, among others. Price: Free. Offers in-app purchases.

Sure I am leaving many applications in the pipeline, but obviously not all can be shown. These applications intended for children I use personally and the result is the one intended for its effect, which is none other than entertain the little one in the house.

Regarding the stories, the most well-known and classic stories are available in the App Store, such as Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, Blancanieves y los siete enanitos, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel y Gretel among others. Most of them are interactive, which allows the child to interact with the stories while listening to them as they are spoken and having fun watching the animations.

To lock the iPad / iPhone And that your child is not constantly leaving the application, you must go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Guided access and activate it. Then establish a code so that when you press three times in a row, the code will jump to unlock the iPad / iPhone once the kids have finished playing.
