    School Zone Little Scholar Kids Tablet {Review}

    Disclosure:  I received the product below to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    As a mom today I have learned to go with the flow of technology and education.  Tablets especially seem to be everywhere and I am fortunate to own a few of them.  The problem I have found though with my kids using my tablet is they start playing games and veering away from the educational apps I downloaded for them.  We have kids tablets that are great and serve a purpose but not necessarily customizable and up to common core standards.

    The Little Scholar tablet by School Zone has seriously blown me away.  If you are looking for a kids tablet that is educational, fun and more like an adult tablet, this is the tablet to check out.  Honestly I have tried a lot of tablets and this one really surprised me!

    Little Scholar is tablet that is geared towards kids from Preschool to 1st grade, but I will say even my 2nd grader is getting use out of it.

    Features of the Little Scholar tablet:

    • 8 inch touch screen
    • Runs on a Google Android 4.2.2 operating system
    • Books
    • Original songs
    • Interactive, educational video series with live action and animation staring Charlie the Golden Retriever and his best friend, Miss Ellie, who embark on educational adventures
    • Over 150 preloaded apps (over a $400 value)
    • Report card app for viewing children’s activity
    • Rear-and front-facing camera
    • Topics cover math, reading, spelling and more!

    Skills: colors, shapes; patterns; counting; numbers; addition; subtraction; letters; ABCs; uppercase letters; lowercase letters; multiplication; telling time; counting coins; phonics; rhyming; beginning letters; letter sounds; short and long vowel sounds; letter blends; spelling; matching; same and different; vocabulary; critical thinking; memorization; problem-solving; fine motor skills; observation; eye-hand coordination; focus

    The best part though is the positive “no’s”:

    • No registration or credit card required
    • No apps to download
    • No upsells for buying more apps
    • No need to connect to the Internet
    • No expensive cartridges to buy or loose
    • No Lite or partial-verison apps
    • No ads
    • No worrying about your kids viewing anything inappropriate

    I honestly haven’t been able to play with it as much as I’d like because one of my three is always playing with it but one feature I found that is absolutely perfect for what my boys need right now is the Spelling app.  In the spelling app you can put in your own spelling words!   It takes just a few minutes and you can type in your child’s weekly spelling list (or use one of there lists) and then they can play games with them!

     Not sure why this picture came out bad, but it says “Gavin’s words”:

    Right out out the box, the Little Scholar is ready to go and it even comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.  I cannot say enough good things about this tablet.  Im truly impressed with it and I definitely see my three kids benefiting from it.  They continuously ask to use this tablet and it has stood up their constant use.

    Here is an overview of apps your child has used, time spent and more valuable information:

      I like that the tablet comes loaded with over 150 apps from games to books. My favorite feature is that no wifi connection is required so kids can play this anywhere and you do not have to worry about them downloading things.

      I love several things about this tablet. I really love the fact of no cartridges to buy. They can get really expensive and easily to lose in our home.

      I love the preloaded apps and the fact that I could see their activity report card. That would let me know what they are best at and what the need a little extra help with.

      I like that it’s educational. If they’re going to have their face pressed up against a tablet all day atleast they’ll learn something.

      I love that it has so many different subjects/skills that can be learned. Even though it says it’s up to first grade, I can see this being used far beyond that.

      I like that it has all of the “kid safe” predownloaded apps making it quick and easy to use. Not just kid friendly – parent friendly too (on the set-up side).

      Also, thank you for all of the great pics in your review!

      I like that this is fun and educational I one! As a parent, I like that I don’t have to spend extra money for apps since it comes with 150. And I also like that it is an android which my kids are used to since they love to sneak my phone.

      I love that there is a page about how much time your child is spending on each app. My daughter is sneaky and often uses the electronics a bit too much. This would let me keep better track. And I wouldnt mind as much with the educational apps like this has!
