Lightweight and portable, the Apple iPad Mini is one of the best options for kids looking to get a tablet this holiday season. With an ample screen, great display, and good storage amount, the iPad Mini is quite easy to use. Plus, there are tons of educational apps available in the App Store.

The downside: it’s not waterproof—so you’ll want to be careful when kids while drinking or by the bathtub. The battery life isn’t amazing either (about 10 hours). The other bummer is that while there are plenty of great games available for purchase or download on the device many of them require an internet connection for full functionality.
