I am looking into an Apple Watch for my daughter. She does not have a phone. However she has an iPad with WiFi only. If I buy the watch with cellular can it be paired to the iPad? And will it make calls and text with the cellular.

The new Family Setup was created just for this! You would need to purchase a cellular watch then set it up and control it from your phone.

Good questions!
The Apple Watch does require an iPhone for setup.

However ...
If you have an iPhone, you may set up her Apple Watch for her!
See “Set up cellular on a family member’s Apple Watch” here.
Perfect. I assume it needs It’s own phone number? And to be added to my cellular plan?
The setup assistant will guide you to set up the watch right on your phone with your cellular carrier and will have it's own number. It will require you to set up an Apple ID for the user as well.
Do I have to pair a watch with cellular to a phone?
