Whether you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy Tab, Google’s Nexus 7 or 10, or Tesco’s new Hudl, there’s a growing number of apps for kids available for your Android tablet, as well as smartphones.

We normally pick out 10 new apps for our monthly Android roundup, but September was so busy, we’re doubling it! Thanks mainly to Disney, in fairness, which released a flurry of apps from its most famous films.

Read on for our pick of the last month, but remember that all prices are correct at the time of writing, but may have changed if you’re reading a few days or weeks after publication:

Toca Builders (£0.99)
“A game inspired (a bit) by Minecraft, where children build whatever they like from coloured blocks. Except in this case, the building is done by six robots, each with their own skill. It’s very good fun, although slightly more complex than previous Toca Boca apps.”

Angry Birds Star Wars II (£0.79)
“The game neatly presents the good characters from Star Wars as birds, and the baddies as pigs. But this time round, you can play as both sides, slinging pigs at birds as well as birds at pigs… The characters are drawn from all six Star Wars films.”

Chuggington Chug Patrol Book (£2.99)
“The story is based around qualifying for your Chug Patrol badges alongside enthusiastic trains Wilson, Brewster and Koko, with other Chuggington characters also making appearances… The app is designed to look like a physical book, getting kids to flip through pages of text and pictures.”

Toy Story: Story Theater (£1.87)
“We loved this on iOS: an app where the aim isn’t just to read stories about Buzz, Woody and co, but to create them. Kids choose scenes, characters and props, then record their voice telling the story.”

Peppa Pig’s Sports Day (£2.99)
“A collection of six mini-games based around Peppa and her friends’ school sports day: Obstacle Race, Long jump, Ice cream maker, Bicycle race, Tug of War and Rosette Making.

Disney Princess: Story Theater (£1.87)

FriendStrip Kids (£0.99)
“Comic strips are fun, but how about comic strips starring your own children? That’s the inventive idea… more than 85 comic strips to choose from, with speech bubbles already written. The twist: your child has to point the device at siblings, friends and/or family members to complete the frame.”

Cars 2 Read and Race (£4.36)
“Part story and part racing game for kids starring Lightning McQueen and his friends (and rivals). Kids read the story, then get to race in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, London and Radiator Springs itself.”

Fireman Sam – Junior Cadet (£1.99)
“Another collection of mini-games based on TV show Fireman Sam: Hose Practice, Hide ‘n’ Seek, Load Jupiter, To the Rescue, Sky High Rescue and Fire Fighter. Like the Peppa app, there’s also a digital stickering section, where children can create scenes using the stickers they’ve picked up while playing the mini-games.”

Invasion of the Moon Monkeys (£0.69)
“A retro action game that gets children practising their times tables, between one and 12. The plot involves, yes, moon monkeys invading the Earth – complete with a space centre called (and this may make you groan) Ape Canaveral.”

Blue Bernard (£1.99)
“Bernard, a little blue boy, feels very lonely on the pink planet, where absolutely everything is pink: the trees, the houses and even the people!.. the aim of the app is to explore ‘themes of diversity and relationships’ in a thought-provoking (but still entertaining for kids) way.”

KicVidz (£0.64)
“Millions of children love the building game Minecraft. There are lots of Minecraft-related videos on YouTube. And the problem in linking those two trends is this: quite a few of those videos are a bit… sweary. KicVidz is a new Android app that aims to solve that problem, with more than 250 child-friendly Minecraft videos.”

Mickey’s Paint and Play! (£3.12)
“This is an inventive ’3D colouring book’ where you paint Mickey and Minnie Mouse using colours, patterns and stickers, then use the app’s magic wand to turn them into 3D moving characters, with a ‘Mousekemusic Player’ thrown in to create tunes as well.”

Winnie The Pooh Puzzle Book (£0.62)

AR Flashcards Space (£0.63)
“In March last year, we wrote about an augmented reality app for kids called AR Flashcards – Animal Alphabet, which involved printing out special markers and pointing your iPhone’s camera at them to see virtual animals. Now developer Mitchlehan Media has released a follow-up that ditches the animals in favour of something more… galactic.”
