Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, and select Guided Access. Flip the switch and tap Set Passcode to create a four-digit passcode. Make sure you can remember it!
Now in the app you want to lock into Guided Access mode and launch it. Once it's up and running, quickly tap the home button three times.
When you're ready to lock to the app, press the Start button in the top righthand corner of the screen. When it's time to put your iPad back to normal, triple-click the home button and enter the four-digit passcode.
