Wanting to get your child a tablet but unsure of where to start? Here’s a round-up of the best tablets for kids as well as accessories you won’t want to forget. And don’t forget – the Moshi app is fully available on all the below devices!

Best Tablets for Kids

Amazon’s Fire HD 10 Kids | $199.99

This is our favorite pick for the youngest of kids as it has a larger screen –  which means it’s great for watching videos and following along with audiobooks. The larger screen also means little fingers that are developing their dexterity can still enjoy games!

• 10.1-inch screen
• 32GB storage
• 12 hours of battery life

This tablet features easily followed parental controls and includes access to Amazon’s Kids+ service.

iPad Mini | $464.00

The iPad Mini has an extensive collection of apps available for your children and runs more smoothly due to its faster processing speed. This means shorter loading times and less frustrated kids (and parents). It also allows for the parent to set daily usage allotments for specific apps or app categories. Moshi is an Apple Education Partner for social & emotional learning, too!

• 8.3-inch screen
• 64 or 256GB storage options
• 10 hours of battery life

This tablet allows parents to block access to explicit content and prevent in-app purchases, but the parental controls are more difficult to access and set up than compared to other child-friendly tablets.

LeapPad Academy Tablet | $186.79

Known for its amazing pre-installed, educational content, the LeapPad Academy Tablet is great for children who are gearing up for school years. You won’t worry about clumsy fingers because this tablet has a shatter-proof screen, too! 

• 7-inch screen
• 16GB storage
• 7 hours of battery life

This tablet is Android-run and comes with parental controls as well as a kid-safe browser.

Best Tablet Accessories for Kids

Don’t forget to consider these accessories when looking for the perfect tablet for your children.

• Children’s headphones, which vary from adult headphones
• A durable case to protect the tablet from drops and tantrums
• Screen wipes are a MUST for sticky fingers
• A carrying case so they can bring it along on things like long car journeys
