Gift idea #2 the Kindle Fire HD
Times are changing and we as parents need to keep up with them. This is a great gift for anyone but I especially like it for children. We recently bought one for our 11 yr old daughter for her birthday. She loves it, we love it, and her nieces and nephew love it. (affiliate link coming) We got the Kindle Fire HD in the 7 inch size and WITHOUT the special offers. These are the things I appreciate with this one, I chose it over other tablets for a reason.
- it is known more as a reader, and encourages reading, even though it does everything a tablet does
- you can get educational games for it
- Amazon offers tons of free kindle books daily, but the do change daily, here is one site to get the notices https://www.facebook.com/KindleFreebieOfTheDay
- it has parental control that allows the parent to govern the settings
- it has reading apps, math apps and a great cursive writing app available
- it does not take pictures
- it does not get cell service
- it can be used to watch movies and if you have Amazon prime ( Join Amazon Prime – Watch Over 40,000 Movies ) there are tons of free ones, parents must approve this
- it is priced reasonably
- the battery has a good life span
and .. your thoughts?
