I have only recently stumbled upon ABCmouse when another homeschool mom mentioned that her kindergartner was using it. Keep reading for our honest ABCmouse review.
I am so disappointed I hadn’t found it when my son was younger.
She has been using it for a couple of months with her daughter and absolutely loves it. So I thought I would see what all the fuss was about.

What is ABCmouse?
It is a subscription-based early learning curriculum for kids aged 2-8.
In fact more than that, it is a really fun educational app that is super colorful, engaging, and a perfect first app for kids.
TRY ABCMOUSE NOW
Why ABCmouse should be your kid’s first app
12 reasons why you will want to download ABCmouse on your kids electronics.
- You can set up time limits so they can only play on the app for however long you set it for each day
- I love that it is linked to the core curriculum (see more detail below)
- You can add up to 3 users to each account (if you have multiple kids you know how valuable this is!)
- If the level is too easy, or too hard for that matter you can easily go in and change it.
(It shows you what is covered at each stage) - There are assessments for each level you can do with your children in the parent section
- The thousands of books in the library are fantastic, including Disney and Pixar books.
- Over 870 lessons to complete in every subject, not just math and English!
- It is 100% safe for kids and its services are backed by a child-safe guarantee, which means NO ADS
- 30 day free trial so you can try it before you subscribe
- They even have printables you can do at any time when you don’t want the kids on the IPad anymore!
- The kids get certificates when they complete a level.
- Available in both English and Spanish. Freddie used to watch TV shows in foreign languages when he was younger and actually preferred them to English. I am certain that is why he is now so great at picking up languages.
(It shows you what is covered at each stage)
Don’t just take my word for it, check it out for yourself now with a 30 day free trial.
How to use ABCmouse for homeschool
This is not just aimed at homeschoolers of course, and in fact, Freddie was still in public school until he was 8. I know that he would have come on leaps and bounds with this “game”.
The reason I am so confident is that we have recently started with Adventure Academy which is for 8-14 year olds and he absolutely loves it. In fact, he likes it so much, that when he has free time he chooses to “play” it.
Above is a picture of the main home page, as you can see there is so much to do! Not only are the titles at the top clickable so are all of the pictures.
Your child can’t read yet? No problem, when you hover over anything it tells you what it is.

Whether you plan to homeschool or not, as you can see below ABCmouse supports the common core curriculum.
This would be perfect to add to your homeschool portfolio if you decide to use it. But more than that your child will get a certificate for every lesson completed which could also be included.
So not only have you got lessons and fun activities in every subject, your children can do them in a fun way.
- There is an amazing library
- They can choose to have books read to them
- The music videos are super cute and engaging
- Games are both fun and educational
- Puzzles come in different levels from 1 being easy to 10 being much much harder
- It includes art activities
- There are songs and chants, including how to learn the alphabet
The lessons are lots of fun too, and there are lessons on pretty much anything you can imagine.
When they complete a question they will get rewards which they can spend on updating their avatar or pets etc.
I absolutely love ABCmouse, but you don’t need to take my word for it. They get a huge 4.5* from 592k reviews on the app store!
For the cost of a Starbucks each month I think this is the BEST EDUCATIONAL APP for kids aged 2-8.
You are not just paying for the amazing content either, you are paying for NO ADS and a completely safe environment for your kids to learn in.

How much does ABCmouse cost?
What I really love is you can have 30 days to check it out for FREE! Then it’s just $12.99 a month until canceled, or you could pay annually and get it much cheaper (see below).
But you can either subscribe monthly and cancel at any time, or save lots more money and pay annually.
Monthly with 2 months for only $5, then $12.99/month until canceled.
Subscribe for 4 months at a time for only $19.
99, then $19.99 every 4 months until canceled.
Annually for only $45, then $45 per year until canceled.
What’s even better is you can buy this as a gift, if you are struggling to know what to buy why not treat them to an annual subscription?
How to Cancel ABCmouse?
To cancel all you need to do is go into the parent section. When you have finished with ABCmouse I highly recommend you go straight into Adventure Academy which we are currently using.

One-month free trial: ABCMouse teaches and entertains kids
(Image credit: ABCMouse)
With many kids across the U.S. and in other countries stuck at home for virtual learning … it can be a challenge to get work done and keep their brains from turning to mush watching TV all day.
One way to keep your little ones occupied, guilt-free, is ABCMouse .
ABCMouse is an educational resource for ages 2 through 8 and covers reading, math, science and art. It works using a browser on a PC or Mac, but is also available as an app on iPad and Android tablets.
Right now, the site is offering a 30-day free trial, with no obligation to continue after the month is over.
There are more than 9,000 activities, including books, learning videos, songs, puzzles, art activities and printables within each topic. There is also a reading curriculum to get kids learning the fundamentals at a young age.
Once you’ve signed up for the free one-month trial, the “ABC mouse” greets you to help you get started.
ABCMouse – 1 Month Free!
The one-month trial gives you access to all of the educational site’s 9,000 activities in reading, science, math and art. Keep your child busy and learning while we are all stuck indoors.
Your child can start in the classroom and use the subject/activity buttons at the top of the page to decide which subject to explore. He or she can take a field trip to the zoo or farm, for instance, and complete related activities. There’s a helpful map you can click on as well that shows different “places” kids can go for their learning: the Learning Path (with built-in lessons), Basics (fundamental skills), Zoo or Farm (for animal activities), Library, School and even your child’s “room.”
The learning path seems like a great way to get set up because it creates a series of lessons for your child’s level and age, with levels in: toddler, pre-K, kindergarten, first grade and second grade. When your child finishes the lessons on the selected level, they graduate to the next level. The program recommends your child completes one lesson each time they log into abcmouse.com .
Normally ABCMouse costs $9.95 per month, but there is currently a 49% off an annual subscription offer , so if you like what you see during the free trial, you can get access for a full year for just $59.

We don’t know how long schools will be closed for yet, so this could be a good deal to keep young minds active and sharp.

The mouse said to the mouse:
— How much I love books!
I can’t read them,
But I can eat them.
Author: Marshak S.
***
Their fear does not torment them at all,
They fly calmly under the clouds,
And everyone is ready to exclaim:
– What, bat mice,
We are still very lucky,
That there are no flying cats!
Author: Shandra I.
***
Mice
Hush, hush, hush, hush!
There are mice walking under the bed.
Mouse-mother and mouse-father
Dragged a cucumber.
Dragged under the bed,
To give to the baby son.
The mouse son wept bitterly:
He wanted a rind from the cheese!
But the nasty old cat
Guards this crust.

About the mouse
Somewhere in the field across the river
The mouse lives with his whole family.
Likes to invite guests,
Treat pies.
One day a familiar mole knocked on her den.
Says: “My house burned down.”
Asks: “Sip, cover.”
The mouse was kind,
She took a friend to live with her.
They already live for a year
From spring to winter.
Author: Rostova R.

Mouse
The mouse ran into a hole,
She brought a crust of bread,
So that little children
Chewed bread like sweets.
Mice love stale bread,
Wonderful lunch.
I wish I could get some cheese,
And then get some sleep,
It will be a glorious feast,
The mouse world will be happy.
Author: Teslenko A.

I felt sorry for the mouse,
I saved it from the cat.
To Aunt Tonya’s apartment
Quietly took it.
And what happened then,
I can’t believe it, my friends.
Revela aunt Tonya,
With a mouse in three streams.
I took pity on my aunt,
I took the mouse away.
Carried quietly to Aunt Sonya’s apartment
.
And what happened then,
I won’t tell, friends.
Lives now in the wild
Baby without me.
Author: Istomina N.

The mice stole the cheese,
They rolled a feast in the mink,
They sat down at the tables,
They ate their fill,
They lay down in their beds
And fell asleep sweetly.
They dream that over the hole
Month-cheese hangs big! nine0003

Mouse
A mouse settled in the house,
Glad, poor fool,
That she won’t be hungry.
But she doesn’t know,
What’s in this apartment, the cat,
He’s been living for years!
Author: Bakhrushina S.

Mouse
Little mouse where to get crumbs?
Only from the cat’s bowl.
A scary little pika,
A cat always sleeps in half an ear.
The mouse sneaks quietly,
Only the heart beats fast. nine0007 Got there, grabbed the baby,
And along the curtain, to the window.
Sneaking down the eaves into the mink
And disappeared at the same moment.
Our Murka did not wake up,
Too full skin.

Two little mice near a hillock
They dug a small mink
And four pantries
For grain storage.
So they worked – they tried,
They almost lost their paws:
Very hard ground
On a hillock near a stump.
It’s a pity that people are for mice
They didn’t invent shovels.
Author: Chemodanova V.

A mouse is a small animal.
Do you know where she lives?
Maybe next to you?
Maybe right behind the wall?
The mouse is very fond of cheese
And ice cream – ice cream.
She drags everything from the kitchen,
She carries it into her hole.
So, if you lose
Something tasty you,
Then, baby, without a doubt,
Look at the mouse for a visit.

About mice
And again winter unexpectedly
Frost covered the roofs,
Mice came out of the closet,
And winter hid their minks.
Apparently, they will have to spend the winter
While away in someone else’s closet,
Steal food from the basket
And wet their noses in sour cream.
Well, if suddenly the hostess
Leaves the door open,
Cat, an old lazybones,
Keeps them company.
And when a drop of spring
Will play with streams,
Mice will crawl out behind the crack
Between the walls in the closet. nine0007 Return to their holes,
Live as quietly as possible,
So that the cat from the closet
Could not find where the mice were.
Author: Neznanov Yu.

Mouse by Vladimir Stepanov
Like a mouse, a vole
Thirty-three storerooms.
Each seed contains
For mice, for babies.
Mice gnaw seeds
And grow, grow, grow.
Eat, children, eat plenty:
There are a lot of seeds in the field.

Mouse
The mouse disturbed the cat’s sleep.
Rustled and rustled:
“Cat! Get out to fight!
I’ll deal with you in an instant!”
The cat did not hear the murmur,
The mouse clatter is too quiet.
“Ai-ai-ai!” said the mouse, “
You are fast asleep from fear!”
Author: Medkova N.

Like a grandmother in a closet
Lots and lots of mice.
House made in the pocket
Old panties.
They pick it up very cleverly
All the crumbs are on the table.
9 are expected for lunch0007 Two hungry cats.
Frightened by cats and mice
And sitting in your pocket.
Let them read better books
In a woman’s closet.
Author: Ivanova Z.

Mouse
Mouse, mouse, where do you live?
Where are you carrying the grain?
I’m bringing the kids to the mink
Either a cracker or a crust.
And today a handful of grain,
There the pantry is full,
So that in severe frosts
Children eat and not freeze.

– Mom! Mouse said. —
Give me some wine.
– WHAT? Mouse said. —
Here you go!
— Well, — said the Mouse, —
At least give me a beer!
– Fu, – said the Mouse, –
Fu, how ugly!
– I want to drink,
Ma-mo-chka!
On you, Mouse,
Milk.

Mouse
Although it is dark in the barn,
The mouse smelled the grain.
Deftly made her way to the bag,
And I was going to eat.
But the sack was tied,
The mouse’s belly howled strongly.
The mouse did not think long,
The burlap crackled.
The teeth of the mouse did not fail,
They gnawed quickly – as best they could.
The hole was a success for the mouse,
And she ate her heart’s content!
Author: Kazakevich S.

House under the porch
A house was built under the porch –
Bast roof.
Who lives in that house?
Of course, mice!
They bake from grain
Delicious cakes
And the mouse is protected
From the cat neighbor.

Mouse
I wanted a little mouse to go to school.
There are notebooks and thick books.
It is unlikely that you will be able to read at least a line,
But you can eat very tasty.
There are so many necessary things at school:
Brushes, pens, pencils…
If you bite off a corner from the chalk,
The lesson will be very useful!

Hungry mice
Looking out the window.
– Well, brothers,
Don’t they eat cheese?
– There are white mice
They are standing by the bowl,
And delicious donuts
They are in great demand!

Smart mice
The cat said to the mice: “Guys,
Let’s play hide and seek with you.
Physical education does not harm,
Increases appetite!
“Cunning cat,” the mice decided, “
We’re not that stupid,
Let one play hide-and-seek,
Let’s scatter, guys!”

To get her out of the mink
Need to eat watermelon peel.
Swallow in a short time,
What I wanted to keep for the future.
The mouse ate the crust sluggishly,
Somehow the watermelon shrunk.
The path has opened, only now,
The stomach does not go through the hole.
