I put together a list of the best toddler apps the boys have been using and love! I included learning apps as well as game apps for toddlers. These apps are mostly for toddler age children starting at age two. I’m hoping this helps when you need new app ideas for your toddlers or for traveling.
I also did a blog post listing my top favorite toddler shows on Disneyplus as well as my top favorite shows on Netflix. This can also help when you need new show ideas for kids or movie ideas for travel plans for the future.
The best toddler apps for kids ages two years old and up.
Toddler Apps For Learning
Learn to Read-Duolingo ABC
I think this is by far the best app for learning the Alphabet! I actually do this app with my boys everyday now and I make sure to sit with them as they do it. They learn sounds, site words, matching capital letters and lower cast. Everything they should be learning at the pre-k stage. The best part is the app is free!
ABC Alphabet Tracing Letters (App from Tik Tok Video)
I wanted my kids to learn how to write their letters. I bought a ipad pen so they could practice holding a pen to write instead of using their fingers on the iPad. This app is perfect for learning how to write letters. They also have a ton of other games like coloring and more. I showed a video on Tik Tok of my song coloring and this was the app he was using.
Starfall ABC’s
This app is by far my favorite for toddlers first learning their alphabet. This app is the reason the boys started to recognize letters in the first place. Its easy to use and free! The boys started to use this app around 18 months even though they say age two plus.
Smart Baby ABC
This app is great for first learning letters and numbers. Its also a fun game because they have to drag the letter to match them together. The boys love playing this app.
Learning Games for Toddlers
This app is great when starting to learn letters. I love that they include the upper and lowercase letter side by side. As of right now this is their favorite app to play. This app lets you try the first couple letters, but you do have to buy add ons to get the whole alphabet. They also have words they can start to learn as well. Its very easy to use and the boys picked up on how to use it very quickly!
Endless Reader
Kids will have a blast learning sight words and their context and usage with the adorable Endless monsters. Each word features an interactive word puzzle with letters that come alive, and then a sentence puzzle with words that become what they describe. See the word “dog” as a barking dog, and the word “up” reach for the sky!
Endless Numbers
As a follow-up to Endless Alphabet, set the stage for early numeracy learning with Endless Numbers! Kids will have a blast learning number recognition, sequences, quantity, numerical patterns, and simple addition with the adorable Endless monsters. Each number features interactive sequences and equation puzzles with numbers that come alive, and a short animation that provides context and meaning to each number.

Paid Subscription Toddler Apps for Learning
Homer Learning
We have been using the homer learning app and I love it! They have over 1000 lessons, activities, songs, stories and more! They will personalize the game to your child and where they are at. I can log in on my computer and track their progress and see how they are doing. You do need WiFi in order to use this app so you won’t be able to use this on the airplane.
I usually let them play 20 minutes a day. They say with just that amount of time per day is enough to improve their reading skills. I really love this app and plan to continue to use it as they get older.
