Kids and car journeys don’t always mix, so we’ve put together a brilliant list of fun

iPad and Android apps to keep everyone entertained while you’re on the road.

Little Fox Music Box is an interactive songbook for young children, with three classic songs to enjoy. The songs are accompanied by interactive char-acters, on a visual canvas created by Oscar-nomi-nated designer Heidi Wittlinger. These characters put on their own performance when tapped, as do a select number of scenic monuments and features. If you would prefer to hear your little one practicing their rhythm and not their whine, Little Fox Music Box is just the app you need!

Sesame Street has always been famous for teaching children the alphabet. The cutest character from the hit television show, Elmo, is here to help your youngster learn their ABCs.

And, when the individual letters are learnt, it's time to sing along to the alphabet song with Elmo and continue to learn while having a great time.

This creative app will have your kids laughing in the back of the car as they work together to create their own storyline. The game is perfect for groups of children rather than just one or two, because of its collaborative nature. The first player thinks of a saying, then the second player draws a picture to represent the saying. The other players, without seeing the phrase, add a caption to the picture. At the end everyone gets to see how the original phrase was completely changed. Storylines is a really fun app to play that gives your child the opportunity to learn common phrases, write and draw, and improve their collaborative social skills.

Scribblenauts is an adventure game starring Maxwell. Our young hero is armed with adjectives and nouns as he walks through an exciting world. Children have to think of words in order to use Maxwell’s many tools of survival. Your child will be able to summon a dragon, call on a caveman and resurrect vampires! The levels are accompanied by really strong graphics by 5th Cell and Iron Galaxy Studios. Those that are using an iPad or iPhone can benefit from the voice recognition feature. There is massive scope for creativity within the app and the developers have clearly put a lot of effort into making this game as good as it can be.

All of these escapades take place in a number of different levels, including colourful zoos, sludgy sewers and quirky office buildings. Granny Smith is the classic fast-paced game that holds a child’s attention for the entire journey.

Math Doodle is an award winning app that has come up with a creative way of teaching children mathematics. The app consists of three games that all offer different ways of coming to terms with the subject that many children struggle with. This non-traditional approach comes in the form of creative counting systems like Spanish tally marks, binary and braille. Other games are offered as puzzles and work your child’s brain in more ways than one. This app is a fine example of how technology is opening up new ways of learning for children.

Clueless Crossword Puzzle is an interesting take on the classic crossword, with every square on the board covered in numbers, rather than being blank. In order to complete the board, players must identify which letter represents the number on the board. If the board reads 21-A-T, then your child has to work out what the 21 represents. If they choose C and they are correct then all of the 21s on the board will then change to Cs. There are three game modes: Classic, Blitz and Mini. This app introduces children to the premise of crosswords in a simple and interesting way.

This app features a diverse selection of tutorials for all ages. Expert instructors from a variety of disciplines have contributed to the Khan Academy.

His Youtube tutorials caught on and today the Khan Academy has grown into an educational network that your child can benefit from. This app is perfect for when your children are away from school and need to stay updated with coursework. The Khan Academy is an exceptional tool and is 100% free!
