Doink
© 2011 DK Pictures
Doink is an easy to use, fairly powerful (given the constraints of finger drawing), vecter-based animation experience for iPad. Originally designed as a Flash-based website, the iPad app makes it easy to create simple cartoons, one frame at a time, by progressively layering (or onion skinning) the next drawing over the last. If you'd like to introduce a child to the principles of animation, this app is definitely worth the download.
