This tablet brings interactive and animated reading, educational gaming, creative activities, and a rich collection of apps to children ages 4-9.
Out of the box, InnoTab comes with a full suite of pre-loaded apps including an interactive, animated e-book, motion games, creative activities, music player, photo viewer, video player and more!
After we pulled the InnoTab out of the box and got it turned on my kids all loved it (even though it is pink/purple)?and I absolutely loved that it is both fun and educational, I am all about educational toys/games. The boys were were loving the cool touch screen; just like mama’s nook and iPhone; and I was thrilled to see they were able to navigate their way through the different options on their own. The different levels were a perfect for kids of different ages and skill levels. It was fun to see what features the kids liked best. I also liked the fact that it had features that, even though my kids are different ages, each of my kids could play with it. This tablet is absolutely perfect for my 3, 5 and 6 year olds, however it was a bit childish for my 8 year old and of course my baby girl could have cared less for it. I also dislike that it doesn’t come with a charger, it only takes 4 AA batteries but they die pretty quickly and I hate replacing batteries that often in my kids toys. Since we already own a couple VTech products we have an A/V adapter and I strongly suggest you pick one up if you are going to purchase the InnoTab as well!
You can download educational apps for your children very easily. Just connect the InnoTab to the computer with the included USB cord, download the learning lodge navigator and explore. This is where you can download videos, music and photos from files on your computer. If you want to purchase books and games for your child they are only $2.99, you will need an SD card to get the apps you choose onto the InnoTab though so make sure you pick up an SD card when you make your purchase.

I think the cost is comparable to other kids tablets on the market but I really wish they would actually include the SD card and a/v adapter with it for a little more money. With Christmas right around the corner this would definitely be a hot item to get your kiddos.

My mom bought the innotab for my son for christmas. I bought him an interactive educational laptop computer that I was sure he was going to love…he does..but the innotab has definately taken over for best christmas gift this year..that’s the toy that he’s picked up the most…its the day after christmas and the batteries are already dead…that it the only downside to this toy. Its amazing and the toy itself is brilliant and a must have if you have younger kids but be prepared to make some serious battery investments…it sucks batteries up like its water! Aside from that, definately a reccomendable choice..much worth the price payed for it…I just need to get one of those ac plugs asap!!! Too bad its not included.
