Draw Along

Your child picks a theme (a garden, toys, things that go, the sea, dinosaurs or animals) and traces a picture one shape at a time. Each shape fills with colour as it is finished, and the finished picture gets a face.

The picture zooms in on each shape, so small shapes are easy to trace even on a phone. There are no stars or scores, so your child is free to repeat any picture as often as they like. There is also free drawing, with eight colours, three brush sizes, undo and a one-tap clear button. A drawing is saved on your own device only.

It builds the pencil control and shape sense that come before writing.

For grown-ups

Hold the small gear for two seconds to open the grown-ups' settings, including how precise the tracing needs to be.
