What our experts think
The 15 Minute Adventures app offers daily activity ideas which are a great way to encourage family bonding, active play and exploration. The children found the app easy to use and were able to read and navigate around it independently.Â
The ability to log the adventures and activities they had completed is lovely as it allows children to record memories to look back on. Using this as a journal encourages children to develop their language, writing and storytelling skills. This is also ideal for sparking their creativity and engaging them in activities away from the screen that they can then come back and record later. It is worth noting that the app charges a monthly subscription to use.Â
