We are super excited and totally nervous, our oldest is starting VPK this August. VPK is prekindergarten program for 4 and 5-year-olds who reside in Florida. This will be her first experience in an educational setting. This makes me a nervous parent, with all the questions…
What if she’s not ready?
Will she make friends?
Have I taught her enough at home that she won’t fall behind?
Have I done enough to prepare her?
Learning isn’t a one size fits all approach, instead it changes daily. You may find that your kids learn best using technology one day and reading a book the next day. Our family has used the Amazon Kids Edition tablet as an educational tool to help prepare our little one(s) for school.
Watching Educational Videos
I think one of my favorite things to see my kids use the Kids Edition Tablet for is watching educational videos. The battery lasts up to 7 hours, which means your kids have plenty of time to watch on their educational videos. Educational videos are plentiful these days, so anything you’d like your kids to learn, they can!
Interactive Learning
My kids are visual learners, which means they need a little interaction for learning, which the Kids Edition Tablet is perfect for. We allow them to use an apps for learning or hearing, the Kids Edition Tablet is perfect for that!
Learning on the Go
How many of you are on the go? With having kids of different ages, sometimes I’m reliant on my kids learning on the go. This is more than okay, it just takes a bit of planning. With the Kids Edition Tablet, I can take it on the go and help my kids learn along the way. This summer, when we took road trips or had a bit of a drive, I’d pack the Kids Edition Tablet and give the kids something fun to learn and they loved it.
Lots of Learning Options
There are so many learning options with a Kids Edition Tablet. When you use FreeTime Unlimited, it includes thousands of books, videos, apps, games, and audiobooks. When they got bored with one option, there is always another activity waiting just around the corner. I’d say that the learning options with a Kids Edition tablet are endless.
Using a Kids Edition tablet as an educational tool has changed the way things work around our house. Screen time isn’t just full of nonsense, it’s full of things that make sense.
FUN TOO!
What I love about Kids Edition Tablet as well is that all the movies I have purchased with our Amazon Fire Stick are all available to be added on their tablets as well. For all those times I’ve spent money on Disney movies, I get my money’s worth!
The set up was super easy and the parental controls can be managed both on the device or from your phone.

There are a ton of educational options out there now for kids! So many high tech gadgets! I love how accessible this makes learning. I wish we’d had some of these when I was a kid!
Wow such a nice tablet, I’ve heard so many nice reviews about KET! it’s very educational
My nephew was in the VPK program last year and he loved it! That was his first time in any type of school/daycare setting and it was so good for him. My boys use their kindle fire for learning a lot, too. We just can’t do it on the go because mine are prone to motion sickness.
I have two nephews started kindergarten this year. It’s incredible how quickly they grow up. There’s such great options out there to ensure they have the best!
I am so thrilled it’s back to school! Ha! Reason being – because that means we are one step closer to… FALL!
Cute kids. There are so many interactive ways kids can learn. I love the many concepts of online, but I know as former educator that it’s also important to take a break. The education videos can be an excellent tool for learning on the go and traveling. Kids are so much smarter. It seems they know how to use the stuff even before you show them.
The Kindle fire kids’ edition is amazing!! Great way to get interactive learning and educational activities in during the Summer. She’s so cute, I hope she has a great time!
Such great tips for back to schoolers and parents! Hope your child has a great year this year.
I had no idea that Amazon offered a kids version of their tablet! What an awesome concept so you can have a bit more control over what’s being watched and played, etc. Leave it to Amazon to think of something that genius!
Aww what an exciting time! I hope she has a lot of fun at school!
Ahhh even though I don’t have any littles yet, I love learning from moms about the best way to help them! This is such as sweet post.
THis is such a great post! I don’t have kids yet, but will be sharing with my sisters who do.
I absolutely love my kindle so I’m not surprised that I’m loving this kids edition. I think my son would love it, too!
I remember those days, I don’t know between the two of us, my daughter and I, who was the most nervous.
An exciting time for kids, to prepare and get ready for a new term. You look like you have your tech and are all organised xx
i am addicted to my amazon kindle – i’m sure this is just as awesome. Your littles are so precious!
This is so perfect for kids— love that they can keep busy and get their learn on
Wow so cool! Such a great gift for kids to keep them occupied 🙂
I’m glad you have found this useful with your kids! It;s great to see something engaging and interactive, which is also educational!
