Have you got a child who needs a magazine to read? Why not try out SPLAT! Magazine, which you can purchase online via iTunes. It’s currently available for the iPad, and unfortunately I don’t have an iPad… But not worry! I got to use Miss Pinky’s!! Lucky me!! (Don’t ask me how I got to look after it… it’s a long story…). So I logged in using my login details. I know you are thinking – I don’t like Apple and I’m using iTunes… The Apple app is not a problem it’s just the hardware and their ridiculous pricing… But surprisingly the iPad is ok for me! I’m slowly getting into Apple things… Very slowly…
Well, anyway, here’s a few sneak peeks with the owner’s permission of some of the pages he had sent me, (well there are not many sneak peeks, as I would be spoiling it for you!).

| Opening the app on the iPad |
It is quite interactive with some special buttons on some of the pages that you will need to press to get some sounds or pictures.
There are some giggly / laughing ones which I thought was very funny in this first magazine!

| SPLAT!’s first magazine cover |
There’s a page that shows you how to use SPLAT! on the iPad.

| Instruction page |

| The page with the funny laughing and giggly noises ^_^ |
There are quite a few comics, jokes and some very factual scientific stuff in this magazine. And here’s just one that you can have a quick scan of…
 |
| Teenage Mutant Heroe Turtles are still popular!! Wow!! |
 |
| Find out more facts from http://www.BinWineevils.com |
You can also enter competitions and win a few things…
 |
| Who can complete that maze? |
 |
| I love games! |
As well all the above there are book reviews, interactive games and wallpapers you can download. So go and have a look!
SPLAT! is mainly aimed for kids who like sci-fi, games and comics. ^_^ So it’s definitely a geeky magazine!! (^_^)b
A second magazine is already out, and hopefully there should be one out later this month!! I think these magazines are not only just for kids (4+) to read and interact with, but they are also for adults who can have a read through… especially if you like comics. 😀

Here’s SPLAT! Magazine’s press release. This looks like official stuff to me!!
I definitely recommend this magazine if you have bored kids who are playing on the iPad all day long, or who just need something to read. I also hope there will be an Android app soon (as I’m sticking with a new Android phone for another 2 years). Fingers crossed. 😀
And here are the covers of the magazines again. Better quality and courtesy of SPLAT! Magazine. 😀

This looks great! Definitely something my two boys would be interested in. They're both comic mad AND love the ipad!

😀 It's a great magazine, I never thought I could scroll downwards (which I forgot to mention) on some of the pages giving more information. Your kids will love it! ^_^
