    If you've checked all of your homescreens and app folders and can't find them (there is a limit of 11 homescreens that are visible), and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are thay hidden by an ap age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions  ?

     

    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
