I have several nieces and nephews that like to come over and play from time to time. I keep fun and educational toys on hand, in my home, for that purpose. One such item that's created a lot of buzz from the younger ones is the Little Scholar Tablet. School Zone, the company that has brought you award winning educational workbooks for decades, created and launched a kids tablet in 2014 with rave reviews. I had the opportunity to review the tablet and it's a race to see who can get a hold of the Little Scholar Tablet first. Can't say as I blame them; the tablet made for kids ages 3 to 7 resembles a regular tablet that an adult would use, but it's loaded with lots of educational and fun content for the kiddos. The Little Scholar Tablet still gets played with often and I was excited to have the chance to review the new and improved Little Scholar Tablet.
After a hugely successful year last year with Little Scholar at ToysRUs, the new and improved tablet is coming to a Meijer store near you! Updated features include:
• Ready to play – with or without Wi-Fi
• Over 200 apps including 98 songs and 54 “Start to Read” Books – WORTH OVER $400 in free content!
• All Start to Read!® Books will have read-along audio tracks
• 8-inch screen, textured easy-grip protective bumper
• Runs on Google AndroidTM 4.4.4 operating system
• 2 convenient charging options: USB interface and 5-foot DC power cord
• Download additional apps from the School Zone Market or the Amazon App Store may be installed
Also new for Little Scholar this year is a carrying case for the tablet and plush from their own educational series, Charlie and Company.
The Little Scholar Tablet is designed specifically for kids in preschool through first grade. It is preinstalled with ready-to-use applications, and there's a lot of them! Children can be engaged and entertained with over 200 apps, songs, videos and books. There's no advertisements (Yay!) and no credit card info is needed. Everything a child needs to learn new things is already on the tablet.
If, and only if, parents want additional content downloaded to the tablet they can do so through the password-protected parent section. For now, I've not needed to download any additional apps. The kids have been massively entertained with what's already on the tablet.
A three-level series of ebooks helps children learn to read. The books have fascinating audio voiceovers and some of the ebooks also have highlighted text as its being read. An educational video series, Charlie & Company, stars Charlie the Golden Retriever and teaches children with interactive material. Some of the series is animated, while other parts of it features real people and animals. There are also several puzzle and game apps that are both fun and instructive. Flash cards, stories and match the dot games are a few examples. Catchy music that's age-appropriate can be played, and children can see visually see the beats of the music. And if that wasn't enough, there's also a rear- and front-facing camera. Children can save the pictures to their tablet and even add silly special effects.

The Little Scholar Kids Tablet has a protective bumper. It has raised dots for an easy grip. The bumper can be removed if the child prefers not to have it on the tablet. The device has an average battery life of five hours.
Although you have to purchase it extra as an accessory, there's the option to purchase a Little Scholar Protective Case for the tablet. It is green and orange in color and has handles. It zips closed and has a mesh separator to store small items.
Inside of Little Scholar Protective Case
Parents are able to use the A+ Report Card app to view graphs and reports of how often a child is on a specific task and how they're performing. That particular section is quite helpful in seeing how a child is progressing and which areas of academics they're excelling in, or what areas could use more help.
The tablet itself is easy to set up and comes with an adaptor. Normal charge time is 8 to 12 hours. The tablet is equipped with a virtual keyboard, and a headphone connector. Headphones can be purchased separately. In order to store additional files or to have more storage space on the tablet, you may need to purchase a MicroSD card and insert it in the tablet. The tablet has an 8-inch screen. The Little Scholar Tablet has provided my nieces and nephews hours of entertainment. It's a way for young children to have fun and learn at the same time.
