Android alternative to iPod touch?

A

AC Question

My wife has decided that she wants to get my daughter an iPod touch for Christmas and has put me in charge of figuring it out. She's only 7 years old and we have exactly zero iOS devices in my house. So I want to get her an Android version but I'm struggling to find one.

Right now I'm leaning to getting a Moto G phone, removing the sim card and adding a little extra memory, but I'm not very confident that will serve the purpose and is a bit more expensive than i hoped. So I'm hoping for some community ideas or recommendations on the cheap....
