Recent additions are Diagram Fill and Cut, tools that offer even more versatility. In the palette, there are empty spaces for saving special colors, and a large color-mixing well. With it, you can use your finger or a stylus to draw with the tools: Sketch, Write, Draw, Outline, and Color. Paper by 53 (iOS app) is now free and works across all ages. I also like that Drawing with Carl allows us to draw over one of our own images. As well as easy-to-use tools kids can draw, paint and color with, it has special features they will love: a pattern paint bucket, mirror painting, and 'talking' stickers. I've tried many apps that encourage kids to draw, but these are my favorites.ĭrawing with Carl (iOS app) is great for younger kids. If you're looking for ways to involve your kids in something creative with a screen, check out the drawing apps below.
Hopefully, children will continue reading for pleasure, but without a doubt, they'll also be looking to participate in screen-based activity. With the long summer holiday here for many countries, you can almost hear the collective sigh as kids and parents leave busy schedules behind.
