1. ESTAR Tablet

HERO 7" 16GB (TBHEEST00060BK), CHF 85,80

eSTAR HERO Tablets are a great option when it comes to tablets for kids and that’s because they come in a lot of different fun editions such as:

Avengers
Batman
BB8
Emoji
Harry Potter
Hogwarts
LooneyTunes
Scoob
Krieg der Sterne
Supermann
Tom & Jerry und
Wonder Woman.

They come via an eSTAR and Warner Bros partnership and their starting price is at 85.80 CHF so they make a very affordable option because let’s face it when buying a new tablet for children we don’t want to spend much money, but we also don’t want something too basic or not age-appropriate.

Most of them have apps and content already pre-installed and full accessibility to the Google Play store and all the apps free of charge. HERO Tablets also have a parental control feature.

So parents only have to download a parental control app, ensuring that their kids can use the tablet without jeopardizing their protection and well-being. Hero Tablets have a perfect size and weight.

Adult tablets are typically bigger and heavier, making them less portable and easier to hold for long periods of time. On the other hand, kids’ tablets are typically smaller and lighter which makes them easier to hold and use. HERO Tablets are 7″ HD TFT, are 191.5×109.5×10.5 mm, and weigh 284 g.

Samsung Kids is a built-in feature that allows your kids to use your Galaxy phone or tablet - but you'll be in control of the apps they have access to!

Your child will be able to learn through entertaining games like

block coding
drawing
creating music, and a lot more.

With Samsung Kids, you can set time limits and see usage reports so you'll know what your child is learning.

Parental controls with Google's Family Link app allow you to set rules for how a phone and tablet are used, allowing you to guide your child while they learn and play online.

Parental controls

The internet isn’t always safe, and protecting the kids from the associated risks is a big concern. Parents want their kids to have a device to connect, entertain, and study, without exposing their them to the dangers of the internet. For that, various parental apps and software can be the parents’ best allies.

The top ones we recommend are

Net Nanny
Google Family Link
Kaspersky-Safe-Kids and
Norton Family.

Finally, a basic tip when looking for a device to introduce your child to the technology world is whether or not it is easy to use. There will be a lot of features on the tablet and this may cause some confusion if it isn't simple.

Things to do with kids who love gaming, outside the house.

Between 17.2 and 23.7 at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich Toni Areal A Video Games Today exhibition will run for adults and kids.

In this exhibition children and parents can understand the impact of gaming beyond the entertainment industry and into new industries, such as medicine, education, ocean and space exploration.

Additionally, the audience will discover new trends in gaming along with cutting edge technologies. They can learn how to design their own video games in one semester as well as observe historic video games that changed the lives of most of their parents.
