![]() The tablet includes a free year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited which gives you unlimited access to thousands of pre-loaded age-appropriate apps and a 2-year worry-free guarantee so in the event that your tablet stops working for whatever reason, you can easily replace it no questions asked. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet is affordably priced at $129.99, but if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get it for only $99.99 ($30 savings)! AND, if you have more than one kid like me, you can get the bundle package (2 tablets) for $189.99 with the Prime Member price or $259.98 if you’re not an Amazon Prime Member. Now when the tablet shuts down, she simply hands it to me and says “Oh no. She had a complete meltdown the first 5 or 6 times it happened, but slowly learned that mommy wasn’t the bad guy. Trust me, this was a routine we had to practice. I also make sure to set her screen time limit through the Parent Dashboard so I don’t get any crying when time’s up. She of course loves anything her big sister likes so here’s a roundup of the girls’ favorite apps right now which is perfect for pre-schoolers. Plus, I love going to the Parent Dashboard to see where she’s spending most of her time. And you know what? I’m totally OK with it because it’s loaded with age-appropriate educational books, videos, apps and games for her to choose from. Instead, I let her pick and choose what she wants to watch/play. I tried doing this function with Matea, but I think she’s still a little too young to fully grasp that concept. Now that she’s 5, it’s great to get her in that mindset of “work before play.” So, if I set her time limit for 1 hour, 20 minutes would be dedicated to work, then she’d have 40 minutes of free time play.

Am I right?) There was no fighting, crying, or meltdowns because someone didn’t share. Silence with kids can be a really good thing or a really bad thing. (If you’re a parent reading this, you know what I mean. Trust me – this was the only time I was actually OK with silence in our home. We used it during our flight, in the car, and even at our Airbnb stay during some downtime. And guess what – our first family trip (and plane ride) as a family of four was a HUGE success thanks to our Amazon tablet. In fact, while making our list of things to pack for the girls, this tablet was at the top of our list. However, we knew getting a second one for our upcoming Spring Break family trip would be a smart parenting move. Our Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet is the gift that just keeps on giving. We’ve had this tablet since August and up to this point, only had one for the girls to share.
