I don’t let kuttyma (who is almost 7 and going on 12) get much screen time. It is a very tough rule to maintain in today’s world where everything\u00a0is screen-based. But I find it easier to enforce the no screen rule than filter out the good parts that she needs to round-off her education from the junk that floats around online these days.<\/p>\n

I recently got the opportunity to test the CG Slate along with kuttyma and found it a great way to keep her education digital and relevant while restricting the information she has access to.<\/p>\n

The CG Slate<\/a> is an entertainment cum educational tablet from ConveGenius \u00a0– a company that aims in making digital education affordable, fun and rewarding. The CG Slate<\/a> is powered by Lenovo and comes with a pre-loaded SD card. They have two versions one targeted at kids in classes 3 – 5 and another targeted at kids in lower grades (K-2).<\/p>\n

I loved their packaging. The box containing the CG Slate was very attractively designed and fun. It definitely got me excited while unboxing. In addition to the tablet and its accessories, the kit\u00a0also included goodies like a fridge magnet, coasters, a keychain, stickers, name tags, a figurine and a bookmark. It was a nice and unexpected bonus.<\/p>\n

I had picked the CG Slate<\/a> targeted for older kids for kuttyma and setting it up was a breeze. You do need Wi-fi connection to get started but overall the setup went on much easier than I expected (yes yes! Technology and me\u00a0are not the best of \u00a0friends in general). It took me less than 5 minutes to get working on it. Kuttyma started\u00a0exploring it immediately and she proved to be a whiz. She needed no instructions or manuals to tell her what to do. Kids are naturally inclined to technology and the CG Slate has been designed keeping kids in mind every step of the way. Kuttyma did declare the CG Slate\u00a0a WINNER (which is big praise coming from my daughter).<\/p>\n

Kuttyma likes reviewing products more than I do and she was more than happy to make a video. Check out her favorite part of the CG Slate<\/a> experience below.<\/p>\n
