Android & iPhone Apps Kids Love : Perfect for Family Trips

We’re a technology loving family and during our travels we all enjoy more relaxed screen time allowances. Of course there are also some great ways to keep kids entertained while traveling without the use of screens, but most people enjoy using electronics during their travels. If you’re heading out on a trip this holiday season, be sure to load your kids up with some fun new apps to keep them entertained along the way. I used the Kids’ Choice approach in compiling this list of Android & iPhone Apps kids love!
