Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology with significant potential to transform children's education by enhancing engagement, motivation, and overall learning outcomes. Despite its increasing adoption, the systematic exploration of its applications, benefits, and challenges within educational settings for children remains limited. This study aims to bridge this gap by conducting a systematic literature review on the use of AR in children's education, focusing on its applications, advantages, limitations, and future directions. To achieve this, we performed a comprehensive search of scholarly articles from reputable databases, including Scopus and Web of Science, with a specific focus on studies published between 2023 and 2025. The research follows the PRISMA framework, and after screening, a total of 28 primary studies were analyzed. The findings were categorized into three key themes: (1) AR for Language and Literacy Development, (2) AR for Skill Development and Special Needs, and (3) Broad Applications of AR in Education. AR applications range from interactive storytelling and science simulations to mathematics and language learning, demonstrating its ability to support diverse learning needs, including those of children with special educational requirements. However, several challenges were identified, such as technological constraints, inadequate teacher training, and the necessity for pedagogically sound AR design. The study emphasizes key design principles for AR tools, including usability, accessibility, and alignment with educational goals. In conclusion, while AR presents immense potential as an innovative educational tool, addressing existing barriers and conducting further research on its long-term effects are crucial for effective implementation in learning environments.
