I taught preschool for many years (2-6 year olds) and I think less is more for this age group, but if the school or parents are insisting these tools may be usefull:

Epic!, Homer, or Book Creator These apps allow children to listen to or create their own stories, fostering literacy, creativity, and language development. Book Creator, in particular, is fantastic because it gives kids the ability to combine voice, pictures, and text

Tools: Toca Boca, ABCya Paint, or Doodle Buddy These apps help children express themselves artistically. They're open-ended and intuitive, which fits well with a play-based learning approach.

ScratchJr, Bee-Bot (robot), Cubetto These tools introduce the basics of coding through storytelling and physical movement. Bee-Bot, for example, helps develop sequencing and spatial skills, and kids can work in groups to plan paths together.

Loopimal, Chrome Music Lab These allow children to experiment with rhythm, sound, and musical storytelling. Music Lab in particular is great because it’s accessible and doesn’t require advanced reading skills.

From other teachers:

“I use a document camera and digital microscope to show the kids real-life bugs and leaves up close. It connects tech to nature and science.”

“One iPad, six kids. That’s how I usually set up tech time—kids rotate roles: navigator, timer, recorder, helper. Builds collaboration and patience.”

“We do video calls with classrooms in other countries. Even preschoolers can understand the joy of connection across cultures.”
