No screen time! Twenty minutes a day! TV is ok, but no handheld tablets! But sometimes, you just need something to keep your child occupied while you finish up a task, even when used sparingly. Here are some toys and apps you can feel confident about letting your child use:<\/p>\n<p>The <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fisher-Price-W8777-Fun-2-Learn-Smart-Tablet\/dp\/B005XVCTAU\/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1536837660&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=fisher+price+computer\">Fisher-Price Fun 2 Learn Smart Tablet<\/a><\/u>: This compact tablet is easy to throw into a backpack to take on long car trips. Your child will practice letters and their sounds, along with numbers and typing.

This free app also teaches your child phonics and shapes. The characters in this app are cute, entertaining and quiet! This app does not need sound to be successful (unless your preschooler is working on phonics).<\/p>\n<p><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/abt\/homepage?8a08850bc2=T1171811378.1536834369.5433\">ABCmouse<\/a> <\/u>is a subscription-based, online resource your preschooler can use to practice letters, phonics, reading, counting, colors, and science! Your child can use this at home on your computer, or on the go from a tablet.<\/p>\n<p><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.babyfirsttv.com\/\">Baby First TV<\/a> <\/u>is another fantastic choice for your preschooler. All of Baby First\u2019s shows and apps are educational in nature and help your child learn colors, shapes, animals, and numbers.
