A dedicated Smartphone for Kids can mean you can control the contents of the device, and you may not have to go through all the process of making your Mobile Kids Safe.

Just install the learning apps on it and Uninstall/disable the rest of them. Give them the phone for a limited period of time.

So these are some really clever uses of your Old Smartphones, I think you will value your old Smartphones more and not sell it off at a dirt cheap price.
