Apps for 2.5 year olds?
Hi,
we are completely snowed in and my daughter won't be able to go to daycare tomorrow. I will be allowed to work from home but it's a lot of zoom calls and tasks that require thinking for 8 hours straight.
My toddler isn't great at independent play. Well, sometimes she is but it's not predictable, like I can't count on it. So besides coloring, puzzles, kinetic sand and hopefully some independent play with her little people sets she will likely watch tv and I'm thinking about giving her my iPad to play some games? She hasn't really played on an iPad yet. She played an app a few times on vacation where she could bake a pizza. It had no ads and was really easy (add ingredients, stir them, roll the dough, decorate, eat). She had a lot of fun with that one.
I'm looking for some other no ad apps that are easy and interesting for her age. I don't mind spending a small amount of money but no subscriptions. Any recommendations?
