Abstract: Technology has impacted each aspect of our lives, including education. Education is no more confined to the classroom; students are now learning in an anytime anywhere framework. The COVID 19 pandemic has furthered this trend.Through this exploratory research, the researchers have surveyed 144 Parents and relatives of children, in the age group two to twelve years, to understand the potential for using an educational application to make learning fun for children. Results indicate that Parents and relatives of young children are inclined towards using educational apps for children and opined that children would be able to learn better by using educational apps. Findings suggest that the educational app should have more of video and games, making the experience engaging with modules having screen time not exceeding 3 hours per day. These findings are of particular use to organizations involved in developing online education learning apps for children..
