It was a sunny day at the Sesame Workshop Digital Playground. Sesame Workshop reaches millions of kiddos around the world (think over 150 countries), making the world a better place through educational experiences that give us kids the skills to be “smarter, stronger, and kinder.” Little ones like yours truly were invited to explore the digital playground and discover the virtual jungle gym of over 45 apps and over 150 e-books. This playground is fun and functional and the possibilities to learn while having laughs are endless. Here are some of my favorite apps that you should not miss!
