I'm looking for something to keep one second grader busy while I work independently with the other. We are having a lot of trouble with ds8 getting his work done and not bothering dd7 while they do their work together.

I thought if I could work with one, and if they got their work done in a reasonable amount of time, I would give them time on the Ipad. It's just there are so many educational apps out there, I can't seem to sort through them all.

So, what are some of your favorite apps geared toward this age group...and free would also be helpful?
