I am actually surprised that they even can use it. This is the time when they start to learn to read...

You're correct that most 5 year olds cannot read.. However there's so much you can do without knowing how to read. Plus kids are very good at pressing buttons and can figure stuff out by trial and error.

I guess even pressing random buttons is fun enough.

Have you met a kid? Kids know more about tech st 2 than some adults. They can navigate devices very easily without reading. They just copy what they see.
