Elmo ABCs (I know it’s expensive, but I think it is totally worth it. It was definitely the FAVORITE at daycare.)
Other than those apps, I used a lot of little videos from YouTube. Here are all of the links for them. These are things that we literally watched EVERY day at daycare. The kids would freak out if we forgot one! I just have them saved in my favorites in YouTube so they are readily available. Koba and Mario frequent my favorites page, too:)
