Here’s a potential solution to a common problem shared by many iPad toting parents: their kids can’t keep their little fingers away from an object with such shine and color. This Etsy shop has a solution – at least in the short term. Its a little whiteboard with a set of icon-like magnets for kids to fool around with. It could also double as a prototyping tool for an app developer. The only problem is that, as many parents know, kids have a way of sniffing out the real thing from these fake distractions, but it should buy you at least eight minutes of peace. Totally worth the $30.

iPad apps entertain kids on the road – USATODAY

Nice little roundup of some iPad apps for kids. I’m really on the fence about how much app time I want my kids to have before they are reading entire books.

However, some apps have clear educational value and there’s a lot to be said for keeping things calm in the back seat on those summer road trips.

This is a great idea and it only costs $149.99 at ThinkGeek – if it were REAL. What a great April Fool’s product. I hope it becomes a reality. Then I will really have to buy an iPad.
