Beautifully designed, iDiary for kids is a daily journal at its core—kids can express themselves periodically: writing, drawing, decorating entries with stickers. They can easily navigate to their old entries and explore their past musings or post entries for future events through an intuitive calendar navigation system.

iDiary not only allows for typing in entries, but also for drawing or writing on the screen with your finger or a stylus. Our drawing engine is the same as our award winning Color & Draw for kids (winner of the Children Technology Review Editor's Award 2010).

iDiary on the iPad adds a whole new layer of possibilities to journaling, allowing students to easily share individual pages that they want to showcase. Since diaries are meant to be private, kids can set a password to keep their writings safe on the family iPad.

The journal includes inspiring recorded voice prompts for when kids need a little help.

Teachers across the world are turning to journal writing as a tool for developing and enhancing their student's writing skills. Research shows that students who write journals become more interested in writing and that the overall quality of their writing improves. Since students are not judged on their writing skills, and are given free rein to express themselves on what is important to them, the use of a journal or diary among students promotes expression, self-confidence and creativity.
