Kids' tablets slashed by 60% to just £39.99 in Amazon Prime Day children's gadget sale

If you're thinking about getting your child a gadget this Christmas it might be worth planning ahead, as internet retail giant Amazon has slashed prices on all their kids' tablets, Kindle e-readers, Echo smart speakers and more for Prime Day.

Second only to Black Friday in terms of discounts, Amazon Prime Day will see shoppers given some of the best shopping discounts of 2022 so far, with the retailer traditionally discounting thousands of different products for anything between one hour to 48 hours.

Amazon Prime Day officially launches tomorrow and runs until 11.59pm on Wednesday, June 13. But early deals are already available here and parents looking to pick up some tech for their children already have plenty of great options.

The firm offers worry-free warranties as standard for tablets and Kindles and a Kids+ subscription is also included with any Kids purchase giving unlimited access to over 10,000 age-appropriate premium books, videos, Audible books, educational apps, and games.

The best deal currently is for the Fire Kids Pro. Usually £99.99, it has been reduced to £39.99, working out at 60% off. Aimed at older children aged 6 and above and available in four colours and with its own case as standard. It has 16Gb of RAM, a 7" display and comes with its own web browser, a customisable home screen theme and a digital store where children can request apps. They can't automatically buy them though without guardian's approval so there's concerns about unexpected bills.

For children looking for slightly more power in their tech, the Fire HD Kids Pro is a great option. It's been reduced by 40% to £119.99 and for that you get 32Gb RAM, a 10.1" high resolution display with 1080p definition perfect for watching TV and films.

For younger children, the Fire HD Kids is the same price but is a bit more durable for smaller hands, aimed at kids aged 3-7 years.

Other children's tablets available at a discount already include the Fire HD 8 Kids and Kids Pro which have been reduced by 57% to £59.99.

For children who prefer reading, there are two Kids Kindles reduced in Prime Day. The Kindle Kids is 50% off reduced to £49.99, while the higher spec Kindle Paperwhite Kids is 36% off down to £89.99.

Meanwhile if you want to get your children involved in your smart home, the Echo Dot Kids is reduced to just £24.99, 58% off. The device has parental controls as well as cute tiger or panda faces.
