Endless Fun for Kids
Fire 7 Kids Edition and Fire HD 8 Kids Edition comes with a year of Amazon Fire for Kids Unlimited, the all-in-one subscription service that gives kids ages 3-12 unlimited access to thousands of age-appropriate books, videos, educational apps, and games. Kids can enjoy new titles like Billionaire Boy, Phantom Tollbooth, Peppa Pig, Fruit Ninja, Stick Man, Paw Patrol, and more—available from popular brands like Disney, BBC, Nickelodeon, Amazon Studios, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster. New titles are regularly added to the Fire for Kids Unlimited catalogue and parents can add titles they own into their child's Fire for Kids profile, such as Minecraft or BBC iPlayer Kids. Fire for Kids Unlimited can also be used on Fire Tablets and Kindle e-Readers.
Amazon Fire for Kids also includes a kid-friendly web browser that provides kids with controlled access to tens of thousands of YouTube videos and websites. All of the content is kid-friendly and age-appropriate, hand-selected by the Amazon Fire for Kids team. Parents can also add additional websites if they choose to.
All the Tools Parents Want
Over 10 million kids (and their parents) enjoy the award-winning Amazon Fire for Kids service, which provides the perfect balance between giving kids the freedom of choice and unlimited access to the content they love, while providing parents peace of mind that what their kids are viewing on their devices is age-appropriate. Amazon Fire for Kids offers world-class parental controls that encourage learning before play, and gives parents the ability to set educational goals, and set screen time limits by content type, including innovative features like Learn First and Bedtime.
"Amazon's Fire Kids Edition tablets strike a remarkable balance between what kids and parents want in a dedicated kids tablet," said Stephen Balkam, Founder & CEO, Family Online Safety Institute. "These tablets offer age-appropriate digital content that's both fun and educational for kids, plus a suite of parental controls and features to help parents teach kids how to use technology responsibly."
Additionally, Amazon recently introduced Parent Dashboard and Discussion Cards, new Fire for Kids features which offer a whole new way for parents and kids to connect over digital content. With Discussion Cards, parents can easily familiarise themselves with the Fire for Kids content their kids are viewing, such as books, videos, educational apps, and games to encourage discussion and engagement with their kids. Discussion Cards are found within the new Parent Dashboard, a mobile optimised website that also provides daily activity reports to help parents review the digital content their kids are using in Fire for Kids and determine how to manage time limits and educational goals. Parent Dashboard and Discussion Cards are available at http://parents.amazon.com.
