Doodlecast for Kids

iOS Universal

★ Parents' Choice Foundation Gold Award ★ Editor's Choice Children's Technology Review ★ Featured by Apple ★ Doodlecast is a unique drawing app that records your voice as you draw. Play back your drawing and export it to share with friends and family. Visit the Doodlecast for Kids support page to see the app in action.

The Doodlecast For Kids App comes with more than 20 drawing prompts – simple questions designed to give kids a starting point. Kids can choose from one of the prompts or start a drawing from scratch. The app records the entire drawing process along with audio from the microphone to create videos up to three minutes long. The videos are as fun to watch as they are to create and Doodlecast makes it easy to share them with friends and families.

The Doodlecast For Kids App is a fun creative activity, but it is also a valuable teaching aid. Families can use the app for everything from practicing counting and letters to talking about feelings.

“My boys love it: both the 3 year old and the 7 year old. I think the frames and the pre-suggested drawing suggestions are genius. This is one of your best... and that's saying a lot!” – Barbara Chamberlin, Mom and Associate Professor, Learning Games Lab, New Mexico State University.

"This app is brilliant, really useful in schools to get the children to talk about their emotions and different situations. Colourful and bright, simple to use but very effective." - Jas2060 (iTunes review)

"For young children, this app turns the iPad screen into a creativity space where sounds and drawing can be mashed into the same project seamlessly." Children's Technology Review
