This beautifully simple way of drawing was originally created for quickly drawing plans for Minecraft projects.
Once we put it in the hands of the kids we discovered them spending hours building up patterns and pictures, creating colour palettes and working out how to draw all kinds of fun things within the grid.
Pick a colour palette then start blocking out your design in seconds. Its so simple to understand and control that its suitable even for very young children...
...and its pretty good for doing Minecraft plans too!
Navigate the grid by dragging and use pinch to zoom. Add colour to the grid by touching a square, touch again to remove. Add as many colours as you want to build up a pallet to use for your design.
Save your designs to photos so you can print and share them.
The app is child friendly and has no advertising or in-app purchases.
