My Children's Favorite tablet is a good flat rock. Get the right one and it'll do everything from launching toy cars to hop-skip-jumping its way across a pond.
Of course, as a WIRED reviewer, there are also plenty of digital tablets in my house, and they're pretty popular at times too. After years of testing, we’ve tried almost every kid-focused tablet out there. These are our favorite picks.
If you're still hunting for kid-related educational ideas, check out our favorite kid podcasts, some fun ways to help kids learn, and our guide to the best STEM toys.
Updated September 2021: We updated our picks to include the latest models, added a new Chromebook, and updated prices.
