For a 3 year old, simple games like matching, colours, numbers and to encourage speech? He has poor motor skills so needs to be fairly easy. Are such games available and where would I find them?

I am a bit confused re tablets.

I am looking at the excel scroll

My dgs enjoys the games apps from www.22learn.com but I have an iPad, don't know if an Android version exists.

Oh, I searched for educational apps in the app store, if that's any help? I really know nothing re Androids, though.

Thanks I did find something called an android app store with lots of games which I hope will be suitable smile

Think its going to be a steep learning curve for me OldLady !
The link you gave also has apps for androids too. Looks brilliant for littluns!

Androids are like iPads, only cheaper and run on google or windows I think??confused

Yeah, I think Google has an Android connection. There are lots of educational apps that give you a free trial and if you like it you can pay (usually under £2) for an extended version. If you can find a "book" called Timmy Tickle on Android I thoroughly recommend that, my dgs goes back to it time and time again.

This connect the dots is lovely and might be suitable for his age.

Also spot the differences, but you will probably need to do this one together.

Both are free.
