Simple messaging app for iPad/elderly parent

Hi all

Just after any ideas really..

My dad isn't particularly techy (he still has a 3210 mobile) but I gave him an old iPad which he is quite taken with (reads the news, has even started online banking) and I would love to be able to send him pictures/links/message that go straight to his iPad. WhatsApp isn't an option as they don't have an app for iPad, and I also think because he doesn't have a smart phone it wouldn't work even if there was an app because he couldn't register his mobile.

Any ideas of apps that might work?

Just to add, have considered email but his inbox is so full messages would get lost.

Skype? Facetime? They are "ancient".

Facebook -- or is device too old.

iMessage is the easiest to use on an iPad.
