Posted by [imoncommunications](https://blog.imon.net/author/imoncommunications) on May 4, 2017 4:26:24 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) It’s about that time of year again, sack lunches and homework filled evenings will soon be replaced with picnics and late summer nights. With the excitement of summer vacation, the kids will trade their backpacks and notebooks for pool toys and camping gear. But soon the excitement will fade and many of you will hear those all too common words “I’m Bored”.  So here are a few kid apps we found that will help to keep your kids entertained, but also learning, this summer. Before you start downloading, make sure you have enough Internet speed to keep up this summer. With kids staying home all day and using the Internet for games, social media, and streaming videos, you may need more bandwidth to keep up. For more information about Internet speed, check out our previous block post “[Confused about Internet Speed](http://imoninsider.com/2016/08/17/confused-about-internet-speed)” or “[Causes for Slow Internet Connections](http://imoninsider.com/2017/04/19/causes-for-slow-internet-connections)”.  You can also use the [ImOn Speed Analyzer](http://www.imon.net/speedanalyzer) to help you figure out what Internet speed is right for the needs of your family. **![Crayola ColorStudio App Image](https://blog.imon.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/crayola-color-studio-2.jpg?width=168&height=126&name=crayola-color-studio-2.jpg)Crayola ColorStudio HD** A free app that will turn your iPad into a coloring book.
