During lockdown, as many parents have been trying to get work done whilst home schooling, many of us have found devices to be by far the best for holding little ones attention!
When I reached out on Instagram for some more educational ipad apps for my 2 year old, I was inundated with ideas. I created this post to share those links with you all!
Many of these apps have a small price, and some include a free trial. Every single one was recommended by other parents who are big fans!
