We love educational apps around our neck of the woods.
The children have an iPad and they are allowed to play the designated educational apps during our school time and during quiet time. I am one of those mean mommies that limits their time on all electronic devices. Also, all educational apps must be approved before they are installed on the iPad.
These are the TOP 50 educational apps that were suggested by numerous homeschool moms when asked. All of these educational apps or either FREE or very inexpensive.

Do you have any educational apps to add to the list?
Are they all for ipad? We have a kindle fire and are looking for great educational apps! Thanks!
We also own a Kindle. Seems hard to find posts on educational apps for the Kindle but the ones for iPad abound. Would be curious to see if any of these listed are compatible for Kindle as well.
I have a kindle and an android based phone a post like this for those devices would be very welcome.
Great list.
