Never underestimate the power that a cheap tablet holds over a kid under six.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Skylight Buddy is a device with one job: to be a cute little guy that helps your kid track routines and chores. It\u2019s $139.99, plus an optional subscription. And to my surprise, even though it offers a pretty limited set of features without the $39-per-year \u201cPlus\u201d features, it actually worked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Skylight recommends the Buddy for kids aged four up to 10. An adult has to set it up, naturally, which you do inside of the Skylight app. From there, you make a profile for your kid and assign it to the Buddy, which is strictly one-kid-per-device. That might be a non-starter for bigger families, but in my household of one kiddo it worked fine. In the app you can set up recurring or one-off tasks and group them into routines for the morning, afternoon, and evening. They appear on the Buddy\u2019s screen as big cards with emoji labels, so it\u2019s a viable option for a kid like mine who isn\u2019t reading yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
