These days, maybe a cheap tablet or smartphone would be okay for a young child. And I think they tend to have parental controls on them too, so you can lock down what they can access.  And I was also thinking an iPod Touch would be good, since it doesn't have the phone part, but I don't think Apple makes that anymore..  Maybe you could find a used one for not too much money.

In that situation, if possible, I think it could be good to have a dedicated office room, maybe with a locking door, so a yound child couldn't get in and make a mess.
