333 free apps. Wow.
When I first posted this list, it was the Top 10 Free Apps for Kids (all ages). I used the site clicks, and still do, to determine the order as I wanted to the list to be a reflection of which free apps our readers wanted most.
Then it went to a Top 20, 50, 65 and 100 and then split among preschool apps, apps for kids 6+ and apps for teachers/parents.
Now the lists are have grown even bigger as we've learned about so many new free apps. To make room, we've started to combine them into sets, for example all of the 59 free Disney apps in one post, meaning the Top 100 Free Apps for Kids 5-8 list actually contains 333 apps!
Apps and app prices change every day so if you see an app that shouldn't be here, please let us know in the comments. Enjoy!
