Now that Hudson has officially cut his nap (again) I was in dire need of something for him to do during “quiet time” every day. We tried puzzles and crafts and that didn’t work, so I got him an Amazon Fire Kids Edition. If you haven’t seen these things, you need to check it out. It’s only $99 for the tablet and it has a 2 year warranty! So if my child breaks it, I can send it back in for a new one, no questions asked. We’ve had it for a couple weeks and I wanted to share all of our favorite apps that we’ve found!
Best Apps for Toddlers/Pre-K with Amazon Underground
Here are the apps we are loving, and the best part is they’re all FREE:
- ABC Phonics: There are fun songs for each letter of the alphabet AND they learn to draw each letter too.
- Endless Reader: Letter puzzles that are also sight words. This is great first step in learning to read.
- Puzzingo: Hudson is obsessed with this app. It’s interactive puzzles that go over numbers, letters, and what makes things move.
- PINKING Mother Goose: All of the most popular nursery rhymes and games.
- Kids Tube: A Youtube app that only shows kid videos! No more scrolling through all of Youtube looking for age-appropriate content.
- Thomas and Friends: Express Delivery: Another favorite because, hey, it’s Thomas.
- Mini Drivers: Your toddler learns to count and recognize numbers while driving trucks around the city.
- Peppa Pig: Paintbox: All the fun of painting without the mess.
I LOVE Amazon Underground. For one, it’s free apps. And by free I mean they are actually 100% free. There are no in-app purchases or advertisement-free options. What’s even better news is they’re the exact same apps you would have to buy on other devices. I don’t know about you, but I used to get astronomical bills from a certain software company because my child kept buying apps on my phone! No more of that. There are over 3,000 of these free apps to choose from, so I know I’ll have plenty to keep this little man busy when I need some down time.
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
These are awesome suggestions. I was wondering what apps there were and which were best to use for my toddler. I will definitely be checking some of these out!
Can’t wait to check these out! My little one is just becoming interested in the iPad. Most of the time she just wants to listen to Wheels on the Bus on repeat, but these will be a fun way to mix it up! 😉

Do any of these apps come with a timer so that they stop working after a certain amount of time? I have strict rules about how long my kids are in front of a screen because I don’t want their brain development to become imbalanced. Thanks!
I never heard of this! We have a long flight ahead of us in the near future, this will surely come in handy. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I just went and downloaded all of these. Thanks so much for the suggestions!
I’m going to have to look into Amazon Underground! I have a toddler and baby, so sounds like this could really come in handy. I’m curious if you have any math apps you would recommend.
