5 Apps To Download If You Have A 5 Year Old

Whether you are a mother of ten kids or you just have one, you know how much time and energy they take out of you. It’s like as soon as they have had a nap or a gummy fruit snack, they suddenly have more energy than they had before.

If only this energy level stayed with us throughout our whole lives. I’m so lazy now, just driving to the store makes me tired. I’m even tired after I take a nap. While it is important to make sure your kids are getting the adequate amount of exercise during the day, it’s also important that you can get things done, like grocery shopping or a simple mani and pedi.

Here are 5 apps to download on your phone for your 5 year old that have the attention span of a goldfish. I promise, these apps will keep them busy for hours so you can get your errands done without your kiddo throwing a boredom fit.

If I have learned anything about kids, it’s that they love animals. Particularly furry ones like bunnies, puppies, and kittens. This app tells the tale of a little bunny who is on his way to the vet for a check-up. This interactive story will hold your little one’s attention for hours on end so you have enough time to finish up dinner or run your errands in peace.

This app is amazing for parents who are having trouble teaching their kids the importance of recycling. I mean, let’s face it, kids don’t really care about the environment yet. They just don’t understand it.

However, with the help of Eco Boy and his friends, your kids will see how much fun recycling can be. Saving the planet starts with the next generation. Get them pumped about it with this app!

This app is wonderful for kids who love to play memory games. It helps teach them observatory skills. They will have the memory of an elephant by the time they are done with this game!

Stickers. Stamps. Coloring pages. You name it, this app has it! I was a teacher for preschoolers for about a year and I can attest to coloring apps. I downloaded this for my older kids that I would watch after school was over and they loved it! The best part about this app is there is no aftermath of a spilled watercolor or a permanent marker mishap on the carpet. It’s perfect!

Kids are so creative and curious. They love to ask questions and are always seeking to know more. This app fine tunes that curiosity about the human body. They will learn a ton about the anatomy of the body like skin, organs, skeletal muscles, and so much more! Don’t worry, it’s not as boring as it sounds. With its interactive games and fun pictures, your kids are sure to be mesmerized!
