Entity has the scoop on coding apps to make your kids successful.

Remember when you and your newborn would jam out to “Baby Mozart” and “Rockabeye Baby”?  The days when you would dream of raising a future genius? A mini Einstein and a little female da Vinci who would grow up to create inventions that would not only innovate but revolutionize the tech world?

Turns out you don’t have to give up on the child-prodigy dream. With these challenging-but-fun apps your kids will learn the basics of programming, all the while solving problems and finding creative solutions.

1 HOPSCOTCH

This highly addictive iPhone app is the epitome of programming gone easy. Not only does it teach your child how to make their own game by skipping through easy-to-follow videos, but it also lets them publish the game when they’re done. And its not just for kids—a ton of parents are playing it, too.

2 DAISY THE DINOSAUR

This iPhone app is perfect for kids who are trying to roar through the programming scene, but haven’t had quite enough experience yet. Daisy the Dinosaur is a fun simple way to teach your child sequencing, events and loops through drag and drop challenges. She also does tricks across the screen whenever a challenge is completed.

3 CARGO-BOT

While the idea behind Cargo-Bot seems simple – teach a robot how to move crates – it definitely requires some creativity and thinking. Offering 36 diabolic puzzles, this app not only shows your child the fundamentals of programming, but also challenges her brain as she seeks solutions.

4 LIGHT BOT

Available on both Android and iPhone devices, this coding game is puzzling and logical. It offers 50 levels of fun, analytical programming while teaching your child about conditionals, loops and procedures. It’s also been used in classrooms all over the world in order to introduce coding and computer science to students.

While your child may or may not be Nostradamus, by teaching your little mastermind coding at a young age, he or she does have the potential to make revolutionary changes in the tech world.
