Here's a fact about young children. They love to feed things, whether it's a pet, a parent or a pretend monster. This app takes this idea to a new level, by letting children decorate their own monster, and then feed him or her until all the food is gone. It is easy to snap a photo to share, and there are no limits to the number of monsters you can decorate. There could be a better erase or undo option, giving children more control over the creativity process and we found the Sago branding inside the creative space to be unnecessary (especially for a $3 app). This is an excellent starter app for very young children.
