And each differs not only in technical characteristics, but also in purpose, in a set of applications, developing programs. We will get acquainted with the most prominent representatives of the technical range, popular among young users.
Kidspad
All children's computers and tablets that teach kids to speak, read, write and learn the world, it is important to distinguish by age criteria. The very first acquaintance with miracle devices can happen at the age of three. And for this, the fascinating and safe children's educational tablet LG KidsPad is perfect.

In addition to the device itself, the kit includes a protective case, a stylus for writing and drawing, and instructions in Russian.
"Play and Learn"
The tablet for children learning “Play and Learn”, like its predecessor, is intended for the first discoveries of the kid about the world around him. However, it is a very simple device in terms of quality. Its screen is an imitation of a sensor, and application management is quite affordable, as there are no distracting blinking elements and additional windows. Using such a tablet, you can easily and quickly teach your child to read, count, and distinguish animal sounds. Information and instructions are in Russian. This model is an ideal gadget for preschool education with the necessary number of interactive exercises. Its cost in Russia is about 500 rubles (depending on the region).
A great alternative is the children's educational tablet Y-Pad. It has the same device, a set of programs for the development of speech and counting in children and is the same in price. Both tablets are powered by ordinary batteries.
I-kids
The children's educational tablets I-Kids are completely different in quality. Among the technical characteristics, it should be noted a sufficient amount of memory (8 GB), a bright design and an energy-intensive screen. Developmental content includes 30 core applications. Among them: fairy tales, coloring books, puzzles, educational games. Parental controls are provided. The device comes complete with a special bumper cover that protects it from shock in case of accidental drops. Prices for a miracle gadget in Russia range from 150 to 200 dollars.
Qumo Kids Tab
More progressive in their characteristics are children's educational tablets Qumo Kids Tab. Ergonomically shaped devices have a powerful 2-core processor, 16 GB of internal memory, excellent color reproduction and a powerful battery. In addition to the books installed on them, reference materials, educational games in Russian and cartoons, branded tablets allow you to download videos, music, take photos, and communicate via Skype. Indisputable advantages are the lack of small parts and the presence of plugs for ports. All this provides child and computer security. Of course, such a number of advantages and high quality of the product affected the cost of the tablet, which is about 6 thousand rubles.
Playpad2
This tablet is a Russian development. Psychologists and educators took part in its creation. In addition to organic LED technology , which significantly reduces the load on children's vision, this model boasts unique applications. They help to develop skills in mathematics, spelling, geography, foreign languages and, as can be seen, are excellent helpers in school education. Also, the device has educational games designed for the creative and logical thinking of the child. And so that the child does not get involved in Internet surfing, the tablet provides the function of blocking the network from the virtual parental office. Using this option, parents can send messages to their child. For example, a reminder that it is time to relax a bit and breathe fresh air, or, conversely, to start homework. The cost of the device on average is 7 thousand rubles.
Tabeo e2

But, despite all the external progressiveness, children's educational tablets of this production line have a couple of disadvantages. They are very difficult to find on the Russian market, and basic developmental games and programs are installed in English. Therefore, it is better to use devices for Russian-speaking children from 7-8 years of age. Or immediately take care of learning content using well-known applications on Google Play.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids
The brand product closes the seven popular tablets for children. In Russia, it can rightfully be considered a sales leader. Despite the focus on young users, the technical characteristics of the device are fully consistent with adult requirements. High-quality sound and color reproduction, a powerful processor, a capacitive battery, sufficient memory (8 GB), support for several audio / video formats and a wide variety of options, educational games, and programs are all that a children's educational tablet should have. Reviews about the branded device confirm the quality and endurance of the product, its safety and ease of use by kids.
