Kids are able to use and understand technology at an early age. Thus, they know how smartphones and tablets work correctly and how to play their favorite apps before they can even speak. However, with such a huge industry involving technology, there are a lot of apps offered in different platforms that are not so kid-friendly. With this matter, someone has to take control of it, or at least, help to mend out things, right?

Thus, Trafalgar Soft Company compiled a list of the top 10 most fun and free kids mobile apps!

Get your pen and paper ready, parents (or, you all could just take screenshots of the games. LOL, your call!).
