Road Trip Apps

Road Trip Apps for Kids

Traveling on the open road can be exciting and fun, but there can also be tedious moments, especially for the kiddies.  Have you considered allowing some screen time when you travel in the car?  There are a variety of road trip Apps out there designed specifically for kids.  Many of them are fun and educational.  Check out this list thanks to PDXParent.com. 

Melody Jams - This is a great one for little ones.  Little monsters each have an instrument.  You can change the sounds each time.

PBS Kids Games - Lots of adventures and fun for kids of all ages.

Crayola Colorful Creatures - Travel the globe and color animals, etc.

Mad Libs - A great game for teaching grammar and yes with an App!

These are the top four that I found for my kiddies.  Upon extensive research of kiddie Apps, I also found out these great apps to help out on the road:

Waze - Waze determines traffic, construction, etc. everywhere you go.  It even suggests alternative routes!

Google Maps - Classic App to help you find your destination.  This is great for kids to learn about directions.

Yelp - A great review site.  While you drive, have a child search for local restaurants and more with the best ratings.

Gas Buddy - If you are running low on gas, this app shows you local gas stations along with prices.  Kids can compare!
