Pad Creator Instant Print Tablet

£129.99

Let imagination and creativity take over with the Pad Creator Instant Print Tablet, which is designed to be a creative hub for kids. The tablet is an all-in-one hub for taking pictures, capturing video, drawing, journaling and exploring new creative ideas. However, the tablet doesn’t end there because these creations can then be printed to keep as mementoes or to share creations with friends.

The Pad Creator Instant Print Tablet is something I would have absolutely loved as a kid, and I’m very jealous it wasn’t a thing when I was growing up! The tablet comes with a stylus and features a 5MP camera, which is perfect for allowing kids to capture the world around them and take a few selfies with friends. These can then be saved to the device's gallery or printed. However, before printing, kids can draw on their pictures and add stickers and filters to truly make them their own.

For printing, the tablet has a built-in thermal printer on the back, which allows kids to keep their creations. As the printer uses thermal printing, prints don’t need time to dry and are mess-free – great for impatient kids! Alongside pictures, the camera can be used to capture HD video footage, making it a perfect hub for your child to capture moments from their perspective. This would be great for family holidays or even recording things at Christmas, providing a great catalogue of memories for your child. In fact, the tablet also doubles as a journal where kids can write down their adventures and thoughts to reflect on the day. This can be password-protected to keep their secrets safe!

The tablet also features a great drawing and design option where kids can create unique designs by drawing and adding a range of shapes/stickers to make designs that are truly unique to them. In addition to this, the tablet also offers a range of cool templates that can be used to make personalised cards, calendars, collages and fun photo montages. I love that these can all be printed out to keep and show your kids creative designs. The kit includes 4 rolls of thermal paper, providing plenty of printing ability. However, once these run out, more will need to be purchased, so this would be an ongoing cost for the tablet.

One of the cool things about the tablet is that it has a Kids Search Engine, which is designed to be safe for kids to explore designs and get inspiration for their projects, with parents knowing they are being kept safe from inappropriate content. This safe search gives kids a little more independence with their creative designs, whilst giving parents peace of mind that their kids are safe in the process.

Overall, if you have a creative child who wants to explore the world of design, then the Pad Creator Instant Print Tablet is the perfect, safe and accessible way for kids to explore the world of digital design. I like that the Kids Search provides a safe search engine to keep kids safe, whilst allowing them the independence to make new creations. This would make the perfect gift for a child or young teen this Christmas to give them a creative hub where they can explore their imagination and creativity.
