Optimized for the iPad retina display, this App is designed for young children aged 2+. They learn about color recognition using two paintboxes as well as naming, identifying and selecting simple shapes and shapes in objects to fill with color.

The App contains four challenges to:

• Color a single shape with symbol prompts
• Color a single shape with text prompts
• Color objects with graphic prompts
• Color objects with word prompts

Use at home, in a nursery, playgroup or toddler group. Young children learn best when working alongside an adult who talks with the child as they progress through the four challenges together. Visual prompts are incorporated as well as audio prompts (optional) when a colour is elected from the paintbox.

The App is intuitive to use - either tap or swipe the selected color to a shape. Personalize the App with a childs name, take snapshots and share by copying to the photo album or, via a parent gate, send the image by email.
