Drawing tablet

I’m interested in buying a drawing tablet for my 8 year old daughter. We don’t want her to have access to any chatrooms or YouTube or anything beyond the art facilities.
Does anyone know of a drawing tablet that would allow us to basically keep her off the internet?
Thank you!

@Nocheezesforusmeeses

Is this suitable? I've suggested it because of it being child-oriented and because of the larger screen size.

I know that it does have Wi-Fi connectivity but I would imagine that the parental controls would deal with that.

Thank you for looking.

I’m looking for a tablet that exclusively is used for illustration and drawing rather than a generic tablet with apps.

I’m probably really bad at describing what I mean.

I think we’re going to go with this one because it doesn’t mention anything about being able to watch Netflix or anything other than its drawing features.

@Nocheezesforusmeeses I think that one can only be used with a laptop. You connect it to a laptop or PC. MY daughter loves to draw she will be 9 at christmas. I bought her a Simbans Picasso tab drawing tablet, no computer needed, and it has drawing apps installed. I haven't really looked at it or set it up yet. I got it second hand as I didn't want to spend too much on one.

Thank you! That’s really good info. I’ll look at the one you bought.

Thanks. We’ve decided against one for now because we couldn’t find one that was purely for drawing.
