This durable tablet's features, such as a built-in camera, video recorder, and touchscreen capabilities, went over big with our young testers and their parents. The kids giggled as they manipulated pictures they had taken in the Photo Lab and loved putting themselves into stories. An art studio app and follow-along e-book are also included. Additional software sold separately for $5 to $25.
