I wonder if there are any fake phones you can get them. Or even better yet, just get an old android, absolutely brutalise it software wise, even disabling internet, maybe put like nothing on it or keep it on the lock screen.

There are fake phones, even fake computers, for little kids to "play being adult".

For somewhat older kids that can already hold a tablet without dropping it, a cheap Android tablet with only WiFi, can be stripped down of all the crapware and preloaded with some games, educational stuff, and some media for offline use.
