Here’s a new and interesting app broght to you by Zinc Roe and developed by Tickle Tap Apps. It’s called Doodlecast for Kids and allows children to share their creations. What makes this drawing app different from other ones is that Doodlecast for Kids records everything your child does from start to finish, including their audio. That means that instead of drawing being static, it becomes a dynamic piece of art with a story behind its creation.

Watch the trailer above for an idea of what the app does. I’m sure you’ll be as intrigued as I was.

Press Release

zinc Roe introduces Doodlecast for Kids – the first app that brings your kid’s drawings to life! Doodlecast records real-time video as you draw, capturing the story behind your pictures. Kids have a blast playing with it, and parents are excited to have an app that they can finally enjoy with their kids.

“My boys love it: both the 3 year old and the 7 year old. I think the frames and the pre-suggested drawing suggestions are genius. This is one of your best… and that’s saying a lot!” – Barbara Chamberlin, Mom and Associate Professor, Learning Games Lab, New Mexico State University.

Doodlecast comes with more than 20 drawing prompts – simple questions designed to give kids a starting point.  Kids can choose from one of the prompts or start a drawing from scratch. The application records the entire drawing process along with audio from the microphone to create videos up to 3 minutes long. The videos are as enjoyable to watch as they are to create and Doodlecast makes it easy to share them with friends and families.

“Drawing with my toddler is a great way to learn about the things that are important to her.” says zinc Roe founder Jason Krogh. “It’s incredible to watch these videos as she describes her world in words and pictures.”

Doodlecast is a fun creative activity, but it is also a valuable teaching aid. Families can use Doodlecast for everything from practicing counting and letters to talking about feelings. Doodlecast for Kids is available in the iTunes App Store for $1.99 USD. It is a universal app and supported on the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
