The choice of such gadgets now, of course, enormous, but that’s just something you can not slip a child. As if not to get on the Internet, where he did not have to … And then once came across a colorful, cheerful children’s tablet LG KidsPad ET720. I have not thought much about it – I will take it.

CLICK WHAT YOU WANT!
It all starts with a greeting and the cheerful phrase “tap what you want!”This is a very good move, my son loved it. The first impression of a five-year-old child – delight and a happy smile to his ears! Inside LG KidsPad “live” kind children characters: Petya, Olga, Pushok and Buddy, which help, entertain and teach the baby.
The body of the model and protective cover of non-toxic material designed to soften when it falls, all in bright, attractive colors for a child. The highlight of KidsPad is that the kid can make a handy stand from the LEGO constructor himself. The obvious advantages of the device – a bright 7-inch LCD display and stereo speakers for clear speech, clear pronunciation and quality sound.
The interface is intuitive and easy to operate with a swipe of the finger – any kid will be easy to understand and use.
My son concluded after the first day of using it: “Great tablet!”. But we were more interested not in the one-time experience: after all it is not a cheap purchase, it would be a pity for the money spent, if the child would play with such “toy” for a couple of days.
THE MAIN THING IS SAFETY
Unlike traditional tablets, LG KidsPad does not include a Wi-Fi module, this gives parents the confidence that the child will be protected from access to unwanted content.
Moreover, a special mode “Mom” allows you to set the time to automatically turn off the tablet after a specified period of time. This is important, as it is difficult for children to stop on their own while working on the tablet.
To reduce eye strain, LG KidsPad features auto brightness adjustment of the screen depending on lighting conditions. Parents also activate the “Lullaby” mode, in which the selected songs are played for a certain time 5, 10 or 30 minutes , after which the tablet turns off.
GAME AND LEARN
Learning occurs through exciting games and interesting applications. In the LG KidsPad tablet can find a variety of audiovisual educational content: “Land of Stories” learning interactive stories, lessons, and exercises , “Land of Songs
(karaoke and the ability to record MP3 files and “Funland” educational games .
My son was interested in drawing and coloring. However, on his own, the kid could not find where the stylus was hiding.
And finally, he got to the exercises and lessons, but not boring, but fun. The child is invited first to study the fascinating interactive book, and then to perform a task on the topic. In the “Land of Stories” there are many of them “Let’s go to the zoo”, “Fluffy got lost”, “Tic Tac, what time is it??”The first thing my son did notice was the children’s songs in American, 12 of them have subtitles – karaoke , “Foxy looking for his Mommy”, etc. , there are even books and lessons on the English language.
The built-in interactive books are designed to involve your child in the process of reading and writing, all designed for the speech, emotional, cognitive and creative development of the child.
HOW WONDERFUL I AM – AND MY SONG!
The first thing my son did was pay attention to the children’s songs there are 12 in American , there are subtitles – karaoke. It is possible to save more of your favorite music in MP3 format thanks to the size of memory allows . I was pleasantly surprised that my son showed his independence: he chose a New Year song and started to learn it by the New Year!
A SMILE MAKES YOUR DAY BRIGHTER
The big plus of the tablet is the camera. The son took pictures of all his friends, relatives, the places he visited, and then at every opportunity he showed his photo album to everyone with passion and made detailed comments on the pictures.
The quality of the photos, of course, is “childish”, not clear I’d like to ask the manufacturers to pay attention to that , but I note that it suits the child just fine. Fun finds such as asking a cartoon character to smile during Shooting mode ,
Leave no one indifferent – that’s why everyone is so smiling in the pictures! The successful photos as well as children’s drawings can be transferred to the computer to keep as a souvenir.
MAMA’S FOR!
The first time, fascinated by the content of the tablet, the child completely forgot about his favorite games Angry Birds, Subway Surf, but I can not say that he stopped playing them at all.
We can safely say that LG KidsPad is not disposable toy: after a month of test use tablet son continues to play educational games, take pictures, draw.
He always knows when it is time to charge the tablet and he is proud to let his friends play with it. By the way, they consider this device to be the most long-awaited present for any and preferably – for the nearest holiday. It is important to me as a mom that there is a possibility to add programs as the child grows up.
This can easily be done with additional cartridges with more programs and books for further learning with a series on nature, fairy tales, learning math, reading, writing, English, etc. . The manufacturer promises to develop and produce cartridges on a continuous basis.
Can you please clarify where specifically the LG KidsPad ET720 falls short or should not be used?
