Amazon has just released a new children’s tablet, which is designed to give kids the opportunity to experiment with technology as they grow. While the new tablet is modeled on Amazon's classic 'Fire HD 6 tablet,’ the children’s version is designed to be more affordable and much easier to use.
The new 'Fire HD Kids Edition tablet' will differ from the adult version in several noteworthy ways. For one, the new tablet is packaged in a child-proof case that is designed to withstand any knock or fall. The children’s tablet also comes with a limited screen time feature, which will allow parents to limit the amount of time their child is using the device. Finally, the kids-version of the Amazon tablet will come with a 12 month subscription to 'Fire for Kids Unlimited,' which offers a number of educational children's games, videos, books and apps.
