Internet FreeBEEs:
A few months ago I won a Kindle Touch on a Twitter party. And as awesome as it was to win a Kindle we actually decided to sell it and got the kids an Android Tablet. Unless you pay the extra money for a Kindle Fire the Kindle Touch is limited on what you can do with it, basically it is just an ereader. We wanted the kids to be able to access the internet, watch videos, have more app options, a color screen and a capacitive touch screen. So we got an inexpensive Android Tablet. My husband and I also have Android phones. Can you tell I prefer Android devices.
Well this week I am sharing several FREE Android Apps we LOVE! When we are on the road or at home and bored the kids love playing the educational games on the tablet or phone.
