The 20 Best Educational Apps for Toddlers in 2025
Screens can be more than just a distraction—this playful list of toddler apps proves they can also nurture creativity, early literacy, and confidence. From calm, open-ended digital playrooms like Pok Pok to hands-on learning hubs like Khan Academy Kids and PBS Kids Games, each app is chosen for its age-appropriate design, intuitive navigation, and meaningful skill-building. Favorites include silly phonics puzzles in Endless Alphabet, gentle routines with Daniel Tiger’s Day & Night, and the sprawling, build-your-own-world charm of Toca Boca World.
The apps are grouped roughly by age range and learning style, with helpful cues on what makes each one work well—like short lessons for young attention spans, ad-free environments for safe solo play, and soothing visuals for wind-down time. Whether introducing letter sounds, practicing counting, or just sparking joy through storytelling and music, the best results come when parents co-play, talk through ideas, and follow their child’s natural curiosity.
