I know some people strongly disagree but my toddler learns tons from her tablet.

She has Amazon Freetime and can pick and choose whatever apps she wants to play (we can remove apps and control what age range is available). The apps on it have taught her about animals, letters, words, problem solving, and tons of other things she otherwise would've had less exposure to.

We also play together with her on the tablet and of course do lots of playing/learning without electronic devices at all. Books, blocks, play figures, the usual stuff.

But tablets are an extremely powerful tool for learning so it seems silly to me when people completely cut them out for the "good" of a child.
