Most apps that have in-app purchasing list "Top In-App Purchases" on the left-hand sidebar on the App Store listing.

If you go into Settings > General > Restrictions, you can set restrictions on the use.

* You can set a different PIN passcode

Optional restrictions available:

* installing and deleting apps

* set age limits on apps

* restrict in-app purchases

You need to enter your Apple ID to make purchases but it's worth deciding on whether to give a 15 minute window for purchases without re-authentication or to require immediate re-authentication.

If the kids know the Apple ID passwords and passcode, none of that will provide much protection.
