Nowadays it is difficult to keep children (even small) away from technology, being present in practically any corner of the house.
The new generations will certainly benefit in the future if they know how to use technology in a conscious and disciplined way, avoiding the excesses and dangers that can hide behind a simple smartphone or tablet.
There are hundreds of games for children in the Google and Apple stores, the problem is that many of them have advertisements that are not bearable because while we adults know how to dodge them well, the little ones inevitably end up touching them and end up downloading paid content, viruses and unwanted subscriptions.
For this reason I decided to collect in a simple guide all the best apps for children safe to use, without sudden surprises and above all without advertisements (which can be clicked inadvertently and take the boy or girl out of the game or worse to infect the terminal.
The guide will be divided into two parts: the children's games apps available for the Android operating system and the apps available for the iOS operating system, present on iPhones and iPads, plus a final bonus for everyone.
