Safety first
iPad has some great features for keeping your kids safe online. Limit your child’s access to just one app, or restrict access to any area of the iPad you don’t want them to see or use. There are also plenty of fun and educational apps to help them learn while they play – including Swift Playground, a game that teaches kids to code with interactive puzzles.
Relax while they learn
A lightweight tablet with a super-high resolution screen, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a great tablet for keeping your little ones entertained. Kids Mode (a paid for service), lets them explore a fun and educational environment – with over 1000 apps to choose from. It’s easy to tailor what content you allow them to access – and once you have, you can simply just sit back and relax while they learn and play.
Ready to go
Huawei MediaPad T3 10 is another kid-friendly tablet that will encourage children to learn while keeping them entertained. It comes pre-installed with Kids Garden, which lets you control what content your little ones can access – and it also includes over 200 fun and educational puzzles, designed to teach numbers, letters and other essentials.
