3 Ways to Use iPad with Children
iPad has tools for each family member. My always travelling husband carries it for reading books and watching films. I use it for reading blogs and magazines. And our older children use it for homework and relaxing. But also my 2-year-old child actively sweeps to it as all of us.

1. Educational apps
We've got plenty of learning apps for my older two children (ages 6 and 4), but there are a plethora of fantastic ones for the littler kids too. My two-year-old's go-to favorite is My Very First app (right), which provides three different levels of memory and matching games using colors, animals, shapes and more. But we've got everything from Alphabet games to simple math concepts that she loves just as much.

2. Interactive books
We still love our printed books, but iPad interactive books technologies are just unbelievable! Most of them have gimmicks, which make parents (or in our case my brother) to read in advance. And children enjoy it by different ways of touching a screen, what is fun for babies.

3. Entertainment
We're the first to admit that on long trips we'll pop out the iPad and let the kids enjoy their favorite show or movie. You can even purchase Cinema Seat, which transforms your iPad in a car DVD player. What's great is that you don't need to bother with DVDs; just purchase or rent movies or shows that upload to your iPad, or if you're a Netflix subscriber, you'll have access to your account with the free app if you've got 3G access.
