Want to get my granddaughter a tablet for Christmas. What is a good one for 4 year old. I have some educational apps on my ipad that she likes to play with.

A Leapad is perfect for a child.

I got blasted once for asking this question! A lot of people didn't think a tablet was appropriate for a young child but I do. I guess you're looking for a tablet other than an ipad and that I can't really help you with. I just wanted to share my experience. I have two grandsons that are 4 (almost 5), both having used iPads since they were under 2. My son purchased a leap pad for his son and he never used it, he much prefers the Ipad!! I guess my best advice would be the Ipad, the mini can be had for $199 now most places and since new iPads are going to be announced soon they may still go down in price. Not sure how much the leap pad is but I know it's not cheap and I feel it is really worth it to purchase an Ipad. It really is the best tablet out there and there are TONS of great apps out there for kids. There are cases also that are childproof, I think fisher price has one,

Is this the same child that was 3 years old? Was a thread not long ago asking the same for a 3 year old.

No, it wasn't me.

My 3 yr old loves the 7" kindle fire, with parental supervision and with parental controls setting on!

My six year old nephew and three year old niece like the iPad. It's easy for them to use. For those who say that they don't need one should see what they have to do in kindergarten. The six year old has to log himself into his class every day. Some kids don't know how and he helps them do it. If your kids don't know technology they are going to be left behind.
