I'm not sure whether it's because they look so exciting or because adults spend so much time staring at them, but kids of all ages LOVE gadgets, especially those with touchscreens that they can swipe, pinch and manipulate themselves.
Enter the super intuitive iPad, which is much more appealing than a smart phone for teeny tiny eyes and can be wrapped up in special cases and accessories to make sure sticky hands don't ruin it.
There are thousands of games and apps that kids would enjoy playing, but we've collected together a few of our favourites (aimed very roughly at the two to ten age group) for learning, messing around and most importantly using as a distraction to stop screaming and tantrums.
My Play Home
My Play Home is dubbed "a doll house for the iPad generation", which allows kids to play around with characters in a virtual house and make them cook, sleep, open things, run around, you name it they can do it. Available from iTunes for £1.99.
