Created from a spinoff of Talking Carl! (an old iPhone staple in the vein of hugely popular Talking Tom), there are a lot of creative spins on a standard paint brush. The interface is clean and easy, and the character stamps are great as well. If you’re looking for coloring book equivalent apps on the market, 123 Color HD is probably your best bet.ĭrawing with Carl – for iPhone & iPad By Tayasuiĭrawing with Carlis a great, fun way to draw. The Premium Edition also includes all 35 coloring books that are otherwise available as in-app purchases from the less costly version, however if you want them all then the Premium Edition is the way to go. 123 Color HD also features a Paint Bucket to instantly color in an object (perfect for younger children) and a traditional Paint Brush.Īs well as the coloring portion, the Premium Edition includes learning letters (upper and lower case), and numbers and colors that are spoken in English, Spanish, German, French, Russian and Hebrew. With 30 colors to choose from, it’s easy to make a picture perfect colored page for those of us not so artistically inclined. With this turned on, any coloring you do on any of the hundreds of pages is limited to staying within the lines of the object you’re painting. The first two remind me strongly of those paint by numbers coloring packages my parents used to buy when I was a child.Īside from sentimentality, one of my favorite features is the Perfect Paint option. It includes hundreds of amusing cartoon style sketches with Paint by Numbers, Paint by Letters (both upper case and lower case) and of course freestyle painting. Not only is it educational, it has a lot more to offer than a traditional drawing program. Doodle Buddy is not as fully featured as some of the other painting apps, but my daughter returns to it time and again so they must be doing something right.ġ23 Color HD: Premium Edition, Talking Coloring Book By Steve Glinbergġ23 Color HDis my favorite children’s coloring book style application. Doodle Buddy includes around 10 backgrounds to choose from as well as the ability to use images from your photo albums. It also works in both Portrait and Landscape mode, unlike the majority of the other drawing apps out there. It features an unlimited color palette with tons of cartoon stamps and sound effects that will amuse the kids. When I look at my camera roll on the iPad, the pictures saved from this app far outnumber any other apps my daughter uses. The interface is ridiculously easy and the quirky selection of stamps makes it a guaranteed hit with young children. If your child craves to be the next digital Da Vinci then this might be the app that gets them on their way.ĭoodle Buddy was the first drawing app we downloaded and it was the first time my daughter truly saw the iPad as an alternative to drawing on paper. There are tons of colors and brush sizes to choose from. It works in both Portrait and Landscape mode and features Undo and Redo buttons for those occasional accidents. It’s probably the most realistic of all the children’s drawing apps and has a minimal learning curve. The app is visually straight forward and intuitive as long as you remember that the house icon brings you back to the previous selection. You can choose backgrounds and pictures from the camera roll, but the Drawing Pad truly shines the brightest for its ability to just quickly start drawing. If you want a blank canvas to start from, I don’t think there’s a better children’s drawing app out there. There’s a rollout tray on the side that lets you quickly select from brushes, markers, pencils, stencils and backgrounds. Drawing Pad By Darren Murtha Designĭrawing Padis my daughter’s go to drawing app if she wants to get especially creative. She uses and loves all of these apps (and so do we!). Some of the apps are also available on the iPhone and iPod, but these reviews are strictly for the iPad versions. We’ve used each app and all five are currently on our tablet. Our daughter (who’s turning four soon) loves to draw and paint, so we’ve reviewed her five favorite drawing or painting apps for the iPad. This is especially true when we travel, since a tablet or smart phone is faster to set up, quicker to clean and the kids usually enjoy it just as much as the real thing. While nothing beats the feeling of being elbow deep in finger paint, the digital equivalent is sometimes just easier.
