If one looks around, kids today seem to be born with the ability to handle technology. Kindergarten kids can often be seen operating apps with the ease that adults can be seen struggling with. And screen-time can also be educational and not just entertaining. Instead of letting your kid watch some YouTube videos on loop, here are a few games they can play and learn from them as well.
