MP3 player for 6 yo?

[Jannabear]

I know this question has been asked in the past, but I can't remember the answers.

What is a good "starter" MP3 player or IPOD for a 6 year old?

TIA

My boys both have the Disney Mix Sticks. My boys use them and like them. They are now 7 and 9 so for Christmas I am giving them the Sony mp3. But I got mine the 4 gb. They were cheaper (49.99).

but they have the Disney mix sticks for boys and girls. My boys have the pirates mix sticks.

 

Here is a Hannah Montana version....

You can get them from Disney, ebay, Target, Toys r Us.

 

For a 6 year old the easier they are to use the better. I wouldn't spend a lot. I felt the mix sticks were perfect for them. If it wasn't for my older one being 9 and me finding a sale on the sony they wouldn't be getting new ones yet.

I've seen the 2gb Clips go for as little as $25 new or refurbished.

Here's a 2gb for less than $20 shipped

I agree with the Sansa Shaker.....both my kids have them...and have had for about 3 years. They still work as well as the day they got them (surprisingly!)

Is this a good mp3 player for my 9 year old daughter:

 

Not sure what the difference is from a Ipod nano to a Mp3 player. I was going to give her my son's old ipod nano, but I figured I would get that (haha) and I would get her an mp3 player seeing how she is only 9.

 

Pink is her favorite color....
