Great question. My kids had the same itch for creating videos. We landed on Zigazoo, which is basically TikTok but with a “walled garden” approach. It’s built around positive, educational challenges, and the content is heavily moderated. No sketchy trends or DMs to worry about.
Pro tip: Even with a kid-safe app, I use Parentaler to keep an eye on screen time and see what they’re engaging with. It gives you a dashboard of their activity without having to constantly look over their shoulder, ensuring they’re building healthy digital habits from the start.
