For Parents: Color & Wonder, a Coloring App That Teaches Kids Something on Every Page
Many of you have younger brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews or children of your own, so this one is for the grown-ups. Color & Wonder is our coloring app for children aged 3 to 8, and it teaches them something while they color.
Simple enough for small hands
Tap a shape and it fills. Or pick up a crayon and scribble, and the color stays inside the lines by itself, however roughly a small hand moves. That’s the whole control scheme, so children who can’t read yet can use the entire app on their own.
220 pictures, and a true fact on every one
Color a butterfly and hear that butterflies taste with their feet. Color an apple tree and hear that you can count the rings in a trunk to find out how old it is. Every picture has something true to say, read aloud in a warm voice as the picture fills. Facts can be repeated, and the voice switches off in one tap.
Five stories to color through
Finish a scene and the story turns the page: a girl plants a seed and follows it to an apple tree, a boy walks on the moon, a diver finds a sunken ship, and more.
