Smart Apps For Kids

The World's Coolest Alpaca App is Free for a Limited Time!

Pacca Alpaca – Basic language learning and educational games for children By Animal Tech Limited is great fun for the youngest of players. It is also a wonderful app for anyone whose child is learning a second language or is ESL.

The wacky Alpaca is a favorite in our house, and my son loves to play the app in Spanish, too. Players can follow the Alpaca around Australia and play games while working on basic skills, including matching, colors, shapes, number identification, and counting in seven different languages. Plus, it is free right now!

Parents and teachers will love all the customizations and detailed reports. I’m so excited to share that this app is now available for Android users!
