3 Educational Tablets for Kids as Young as 3

When you’re blanketed with all the gadgets available in the market, losing one or two is not a big deal.

But what if your treasured Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 that caused you your 5-months salary is finding its way into your kid’s mouth?

Do you think it’s time for your kid to have his own Apple, Samsung, Nokia or whatever tablet brand it is?

If your child puts things into his mouth, then he is still too young to own a gadget. But if he knows not a game but an application, then you have a genius in the family. Congratulations!

On one hand, you can still put a smile on your kid’s face because enterprising manufacturers have designed tablets specifically for kids as young as 7 months.

These 3 tablets for kids are educational and wallet-friendly too:

1. For only $26, your child can have his own tablet equipped with letters, phonics and numbers, and games. Fisher Price has made this education-focused Smart tablet possible for kids as young as 3.

2. LeapPad from LeapFrog. This $99 tablet with built-in camera and video recorder is also rich in kid-friendly applications. Your kid’s creativity is enhanced through LeapPad’s ArtStudio and Story Studio apps. LeapFrog’s LeapPad tablet also sends you regular updates on your child’s progress.

3. VTech tablet is a sure winner for kids who love to drop and throw things. Its applications allow kids to explore more. VTech is tough for only $80.
