Kids Map for iPad and Android Tablets
Price: $2.99
While there are an abundance of children’s apps for learning the ABC’s and 123’s, there seem to be less quality options for studying up on geography. Kids Map offers a colorful, straightforward approach to learning the lay of the United States. Presented with an outline of the United States, users are then given colorful state shapes, along with a name, and required to drag them to the correct location. With voice overs and simple controls, this is a cool way for kids with access to an iPad or Android tablet to learn about geography!
Maps of the World includes both a free and paid version.
“History:Maps of World†is a fun and educational collection of high-resolution historical maps.
