A nice set of starter ideas for drawing meets a laggy drawing, in this app that has been created around the anti-coloring book curriculum, by an app based on a series of books by art teacher Susan Striker. Designed for the iPad, the app is designed to give children a set of story starters and art tools, pose a question, and let them express themselves. While the starter questions are useful, the drawing tools are clunky, and your links lag behind your finger. Content includes 40 activities can also be used as a writing prompt. Every activity in the app has a link and recommends a real storybook to read about the subject of the activity.
