The iPad Kids is really run by kids. This site is ranked as the top 99% (top 1-3) in Google searches for key words iPad and Kids. We have a huge following! It is neat! Our blog started with a simple idea: Kids share what is cool about the iPad with other kids.

What you can expect from The iPad Kids:

We are on the cutting edge of all things kid related about the iPad. The iPad is the wave of the future for books, news, games, social media, videos, learning & even just fun stuff like drawing manga cartoons.

We review games before they are released and we test apps. We test out cases for the iPad. We are also working closely with the educational side of the iPad so we keep you informed of new tools to take notes in class, take online classes, and replace your heavy books with just your iPad.

How it started:

Julia, age 12 and her brother Nico, age 9 started this blog. They have their mom watching and helping. Now, they have a whole team of kids and adults joining them. They wanted to share with their friends and now the whole world what is cool about the iPad.
