Tablets can be great fun, if you know how to use them.  Kids are now exposed to a plethora of technology which previous generations could barely dream of and the best way to get them into the swing of things is by letting them use them.   The issue being most tablets are sensitive pieces of electronics.  So what is a parent to do?

Well Ematic has an idea, a kid friendly tablet made just for kids with parents in mind called the Funtab Pro.

The Funtab has tons of features to help ease you into letting your kids use a tablet for learning or play.  Some of these features are the award winning Zoodles for Kids interface which keeps kids safe and parent traceable online and off while still giving them the freedom and ability to use their new tablet.  Not only is Zoodles an option but also a fully unlocked tablet is accessible for parents or kids if you so wish.

Spec wise the tablet isn’t a powerhouse but has enough under the hood to run most popular apps such as angry birds and learning websites like ABCMouse.

One of the nifty characteristics of the Funtab is its case.  Included in teh box is a frame for the tablet to customize the color of the face of it.  Also there is a rubberized cover.  But the shape of the tablet itself is closer to a video game controller then a book.  It sports two handles which make extended usage easy on the hands and decreases stress on the hands.

Ematic tabletThe tablet does great on batteries and is quite good for usage as an e reader.  As of now it acts as an educational devices, digital toy, and e reader.  Little Man loves all the games included including Angry Birds and Where’s My Water?  Mom and Dad love the included Maxthon Kid Safe Browser.  And everyone enjoys tapping around and squishing ants in Ant Smasher.
