This will be a fun way to make an otherwise dauntless task easier. We are going to use this for my son’s 7th grade birthday party thank you notes. You can save drawings to the photo folder and then easily email them out. I can see preschoolers using this but also my 6th grader would love the free style drawing aspect and now I won’t have to buy her markers every month because that is how fast she uses them up. It’s very easy to use and also has a plethora of shape templates to play with. This FREE app for iPad is like having a brand new set of markers and an endless supply of paper. Take photos using the iPad and enhance them with doodles, or play games like Tic-Tac-Toe or the dot-make-boxes game. The newest version just came out with a photo feature. What drawing apps are you using and for what age child? Are you saving and sending the artwork to relatives? Is it truly free? If it’s free, does it have annoying advertising (many kids apps do)? Does it try and sell your kid other promoted apps? Is it brought to you by a sponsored brand/TV show that your kids will beg you to buy?Īfter searching and spending some money on iTunes, these were the apps that fit the bill.Are the features too complex as to cause toddler frustration? Does it require motor skills that a toddler just don’t have yet? Does it require reading skills ’cause that’s not gonna work for most preschoolers!? Does it crash or freeze? Preschoolers are not the most patient kids on the planet. Is it truly suitable for a preschooler? E.g.(And also get said preschooler out of my hair for a brief moment). Is it truly easy to use? I don’t necessarily want to be tech support for my kid for a drawing app that is supposed to be fun but also creative.As I look back to my days with preschoolers, I want an iPad app with certain features: The iPad puts drawing programs on a whole new level with the large touch screen and I wanted to investigate the drawing apps to see what we have been missing. Had I known that it was a precious moment in time, never to be duplicated, I would have saved those faces and emailed them to their moms if I were totally together.

My youngest had access to my iPhone and he played with the Grinch camera and made us and all his preschool friends into Grinch-like creatures after snapping their photo with my phone. I didn’t have an iPad when my kids were in preschool so we completely missed this phase.
