The best Apps to learn at home
If you have a computer or mobile phone at home and an internet connection (something that unfortunately is not always possible), don’t miss the following recommendations:

- Khan Academy : it is a platform that allows teachers, parents and students to work together. It belongs to a non-profit association sponsored by Google and other collaborating companies, with the aim that education reaches all homes for free . This application covers such important subjects as mathematics or science, among others.

Here you can find educational songs for your little ones, but not only that, since you will also find recipes for young children, games for the family, stories, books and podcasts. In addition, they have their own characters: Kroki, Mon the Dragon Fly, Panthy and many others that are colorable, cuttable and printable to decorate the children’s room , create mobiles for the crib or prepare a great party.
