It's no news to anyone that most children are hard to keep still in the car. In the subway or on the train. And especially when the trips are very long! This is quite normal, as children are usually full of energy and need to move around, keep busy and have fun. This is not really possible on the transport! It's at times like these that it's useful to have a charged tablet and headphones. But, because there is always a "but", it is important to select its content with caution to avoid any type of addiction to screens, that's why we propose you today a small selection of fun applications for children to discover!
The team Kidlee shares with you its small list of fun applications for children that save life during travel. These applications will allow you to keep them busy in an edutainment way while entertaining them and preventing them from getting bored!
1. Among the best fun applications for children: The Bla Bla Box
Available in 8 languages and ideal for ages 4 to 7, Bla Bla Box is a fun way to discover letters and get familiar with the different sounds they make. This great application is very simple, intuitive and ad-free. It allows children to create syllables, learn sounds and learn to read gradually. By pressing on the machine, the child finds himself in front of a screen displaying a drawer of letters. He then takes a letter, slides it on the screen, and as if by magic, he hears the sound of the letter.
By associating the letters all alone like a big boy, he will form syllables and even words. Isn't that great? And that's not all, the Bla Bla Box spells and reads them too! The objective is that the child can recognize the letters and understand how their association produces a sound.
