Thread: my 2.5 year old son

I am a nanny for my 17 month and almost 3 year old niece. I have had the ipad since the week it came out. I rarely get to touch it during the day. They are pretty proficent in pretty much anything.

I will allow you to do that but only if you ship it over to Australia for me to drive on weekends.

I think it says a lot about how intuitive and easy the user-interface of the iPad was designed that three-year-olds can pick it up and just use it, without even having to be taught.

I make it a point to have some easy games and activities (usually colouring or drawing) that I can play with my three-year-old, and we set aside some iPad time each evening (when she's been good.) And she loves watching and helping me play other things like Plants vs Zombies or Diner Dash.

Me and my 5 year old daughter play with mine together. She wants one for Christmas for herself. My wife bought me the 64GB WiFi for my B-day, but, I think she could get by with a 16GB, Huh?

Nice one! Both mine (6 & 4) have them now, bought them on Sunday, 16gb wifi, no 3G, just for the games and apps! They're asking for iPhones now cause they want to be just like daddy!

Jeez... what's up with the kids' age being pointed out as software versions?

Our three year old is a genius, but what's my point?

The day we start buying him €600 toys is when I know it's time to give up.

But yes, the iPad is great and both our children get to use it for some fun stuff.

Letting them use it is one thing, but buying it for them is let's say, umm... great for the recession.
