Tap a shape and it fills. That is the whole idea. There is nothing to read, no menus to get lost in, and nothing that can go wrong: every mistake is one tap away from undone, and the picture is still there when you come back. Free on iPhone and iPad, for ages three and up.
Eleven worlds, eighty-eight pictures
Weather, Baby, Space, Food, School, Sea World, Home, Toys, Vehicles, Bugs and Sports — eight pages in each.
Ways to color
- Tap a shape to fill it, or draw by hand with the pencil and the brush
- Twenty-one crayons in a rainbow, each named for a color a child is learning to say — and the app says the name aloud as it is picked up
- Sixteen patterns — spots, stripes, stars, hearts and more
- An eraser, and undo and redo for everything
- Give the phone a shake to start a page again
It remembers
Every picture saves itself. Close the app in the middle of one and it is exactly as it was when you open it again. Finished pictures can be kept in Photos, shared with someone who would like to see them, or printed for the fridge.
Made for families
No ads. Nothing to buy. No account, no sign-in, and no way to wander off into a browser. After the first launch the pages live on the device, so it works on a plane, in a car, or anywhere with no signal at all.
Drawings never leave the device. What we do and do not collect is written out plainly in the privacy policy.
