I would like to win an iPad because it would enable me to keep in touch with my gorgeous grandson who lives 5 hours away! He is absolutely scrummy - we try to talk on Skype but both my daughter & I live in rural areas so both have a terrible internet signal & it would great for my grandson to see me on the screen clearly for once! smile

I would like to win an iPad because........it would allow me to interact with my three grandchildren and share in their never ending thirst for learning.

I would love to win an iPad so that I can keep up-to-date with everything whilst on the move and also, I understand it can also be used to store books, so I would only need to remember one thing when I go and stay with family or babysit.

I would like to win an i-Pad so that my grandchildren and I can learn together and teach each other - I'm sure they know more about the world of technology than I, and in return I can teach them about the world I know.

I would like to win an iPad to bring me closer to my only grandchild, aged two and a half, and her mum - my daughter - who recently emigrated to Australia.

I would like to win an iPad because.......my grandchildren live between 700 and 6,000 miles away. It will bring them closer.

I would like to win an iPad, because although my grandchildren have access to one in their respective homes, they don't have access to one at Granny's house, which means they can't show me their games or interactive books etc when they visit for sleep overs. They can't understand when they can't make my lap top do what they want when they slide their sticky fingers all over the screen Please help me keep my lap top clean, and help make Granny's house a cool place to visit.

I would love to win an eye pad, to give to my grandchildren, they could stay in touch with me via FaceTime, this would be so much fun as we could see each other and they can show what they are up too, with out worring about the cost of telphone calls.

I would like to win an iPad because my 3 year old Grandson is very heavy handed with books and he can't rip a book that he is reading/being read to on an app! It would let him have one at home so his Mum could encourage quiet time reading with him.

I would like to win an iPad because we are now spending most of the year in Portugal, my husbands home country and a better place for his health, and my grandson has an iPad and it would like to learn some of the things he is doing with it. I haven't a clue about minecraft the game he builds cities and rooms etc. on, and other games he plays although I try to have conversations with him about them. When we talk on skpe he carries his iPad around and shows us things he is doing and I would like to be able to do the same when I am away.

I have twin granddaughters and they need one each!!

I would like to win an iPad because my granddaughter is always using mine and she would then be able to keep it permanently and we could get together and work with gingersnap.

To keep in touch with my grandchildren through playing a game would be great fun and so enrich our relationship.

I would like to win an iPad because my 6 year old granddaughter uses mine a lot and it is without doubt a wonderful fun tool used correctly with her education.

Venus Fri 31-Oct-14 12:51:16

I would like to win an ipad because I'm really fed up with my two grand-children quarelling over who's turn it is to use mine!

I would like to win an ipad as I am convinced I am the only person around that doesn't already have one. As an older person I sometimes find it difficult to keep up with the latest technology, but if & when I get stuck I know my grandchildren will know the answer and be able to help me. If I am lucky enough to win this it would be a great excuse to spend a bit more time with them. They could show me how to use it, then we could have some fun with it.

I would like to win an ipad because at present I have to buy 3 of each children's book, I send one to one set of grandchildren and one to the others, all 6 living abroad, and then we Skype to read bedtime stories... they love to see the pictures and recognise words.
An ipad and Gingersnap's new programme seems like a dream come true -
we can all interact together in one story! What an incredible idea!
Well done Gingersnap!

I should like an iPad because I could catch up with modern technology and have more to talk about with my grandchildren.

fialcross Fri 31-Oct-14 14:08:01
