Help! Need Mac Apps for 5 year old twins!

[Snaganaga]

Hello,

I am looking for teaching apps for my 27" iMac for my children. I see a bunch are available for iPad and iPhone but hardly any for iMac.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Go to Apple's App Store. Select "Categories" then select "Education". There are a lot of applications suitable for children of all ages, including 5 year olds.
Hope that helps.

I think you're better off with the iPad and there will be more available on iOS - that's been my experience anyways. Now that I my kids are a bit older (9) they use the computer more but they know what they want.

I remember this being an interesting read a while ago... Just a different take on things.
