My wife gave me a new IPad for Christmas. I want to keep the other Ipad for the use of my 6 year old daughter that has countless games on that Ipad. How I can keep applications that interest me (like QuickOffice Pro) of my old Ipad and leave the rest of the applications on the old Ipad to my daughter?

The easiest thing is to back up the old iPad to iCloud or your computer using iTunes.
Then restore the old backup onto the new iPad Air (you need to erase all content and settings to get the device clean for the restore).
When the setup asks if you have a backup, load that on the new device.
At that point, you can use the two separately. Look to perhaps turn off automatic downloads. At some point you can wipe the old iPad and let your daughter start buying her own apps or split things with a mix of the old Apple ID and her new Apple ID as well - you can mix purchases unlike iCloud settings.
