What apps does your 5/6 year old like?

My DCs get tablet time as a reward if they finish their learning apps and/or chores.
DD is just 6 (and quite young for her age) and now is just watching iPlayer instead of playing games - she is allowed some TV time later but she has a tendency to get so engrossed she wets herself (a common problem) and it would be nice to enthuse her about some fun games instead.
So what games would she like, any thoughts? She sometimes plays Playtime Island but not very often, and she's just told me she likes Busy Things which we have but which I haven't installed on the latest iPad yet.
Her brother likes Mario, Angry Birds, Minion Rush and Minecraft but I don't think she's ready for them (or that they are her sort of thing).

Watching with interest. My DD has just turned 6 and is the same as your DD. She's also young for her age and watches CBeebies on IPlayer endlessly. She also has the CBeebies playtime island/get creative apps.
She also likes Go Noodle, Garage Band and kids doodle.
She likes the idea of Minecraft as some of her peers play it but has little interest in playing it herself.
I will take a look at busy things!

My dc loved the Toca Boca apps at that age. There are loads to choose from.

Brilliant @Stompythedinosaur we just got the free one

We also just got Zen Studio Meditation which seems to be free for the full version and she's really liking that.

Busy Things has a coding game (drop the cow!) that DS could use aged about 3.

Sorry it's Busy Bundle.

I though of another one - lightbot is great and teaches coding.

My 5 year old dd likes the Toca ones especially the hair salon, also Gacha Life.

We just got a trial week of Kodable too but it's subscription and expensive.
