Rovio’s popular Angry Birds series is extremely popular worldwide with both kids and adults.

Steamy Window may be a short time waster, but it can still be fun for the kids. Here’s how it works. It places a foggy “window” over your home screen that your kids can draw on.

Last up on our list is Turbo Kids. This fun little racing game is literally just a bunch of kids racing one another. Your kids can get in on the action and enjoy a colorful game with decent 2D graphics. The controls are also very forgiving so younger kids can hit that jump button a little late and not lose.
