As children color or decorate a large letter with stickers, they hear the letter sound, one dab of digital paint at a time. It's a valid concept, because a child might hear a letter sound several dozen times, before they finish decorating. When finished, they can save a photo, and choose another letter. Sadly it's not possible to get back to the main menu, and the app doesn't remind you which letters you've already decorated. Despite these major flaws, this app is still noteworthy because of the way it reinforces the letter sounds. Created in Italy by Catriona Wallis.
