3 iOS Astronomy Apps for Kids

Learning more about the objects in the sky can be a lot of fun. You don’t need to be a grown adult to enjoy this field, but you certainly don’t want to give your child a technical book to try to make sense of astronomy. Here are 3 astronomy apps for iPhone and iPad that can teach your kid a thing or two about the stars:

Star Walk Kids: an interactive application that teaches your kids a thing or two about the objects in the sky. They can point their device towards the sky to learn new things. The app also has space facts and a carton-style setting.

Galaxies by KIDS DISCOVER: a highly interactive iPad app that teaches your child about the galaxies, how they are born, myths and legends, and more. It combines high quality photographs, cartoons, and animations with video and audio to provide your child with a more engaging experience.

Sun by KIDS DISCOVER: teaches your child about our sun. It has interactive 3D models, high definition audio/video, photographs, cartoons, quizzes, and more.
