Hi all.
I’m looking for some new apps/websites
for my DD aged 8 to use. She has a couple
from school that she logs onto at home but other than that it’s BBC ones and she completely outgrown them. I think more of a creative/design type one she’d like but also not to have options to make purchases or access inappropriate content or connect with strangers. Please don’t suggest Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft type games, I won’t allow her to use them.

Thanks 🙂

Are you looking for a game or educational apps?

If you're looking for a game then I recommend Stardew Valley.

Hm my dd used to really like Toca Life World- you just basically designing your house etc.

Thanks for the recommendations. Probably more for entertainment/down time but also not completely mind numbing.

Then absolutely let her try Stardew Valley. It's a farming role playing game with lots of additional content. It's very cheap considering the vast amount you can do, and there are no in app purchases.

Also completely irrelvant, but worth a mention. The game was developed by just one person, which when you consider the size and complexity of the game is mind blowing. 😊

My now 9 year old loves toca world . She's had it a few years now and always still goes back to it . The add on packages are really cheap too and you get loads for your money . Unlike what you get for robux .
