Watching my kids have a blast with the iPad..... they are so cute with that thing. Honestly, it's been great for them on so many levels. They use it for educational purposes as well as for fun. My kids like it for games, reading, puzzles, educational things.... it's great sitting down with them and doing things with them on it or just letting them sit with it and have a ball. Of course, they have to be 'timed' on it though because, if I let them, they'd be glued to it constantly, lol. Can't have that either. haha. But still, it's been great for them and helpful with things.
