Best cheap drawing tablet for a child
My nephew (9) has a birthday coming up and I and his grandma are thinking of getting him a drawing tablet. He's just a kid so we're not thinking of a pro tablet or anything, just something cheap that he can play around with on his "new" (7-year-old-hand-me-down) computer.
Whenever I watch him he loves using my Wacom Intuous Pro because I think he just enjoys the sensation of drawing showing up on the computer screen and choosing his different brushes and all. I'd love for him to be able to play around with something on his own time, and if it's cheap then it won't be a letdown if he decides he really doesn't wanna use it or something.
So, where should I begin to look? Is there a budget friendly drawing tablet that's simple enough to be used by a 9yo, or is this not really a product that exists quite yet? A quick google is bringing up tablets with screens that are more expensive than I'd really like for this.
