Being the Father of a kindergartener I am always looking for kid friendly apps that my child can use. Coloring being one of her favorite activities made Lil Painter an obvious choice for her to try out. After a very short demo from me she was familiar with how everything worked and was using the app on her own. The tools available range from very simple to more advanced and she is slowly learning how to do more challenging effects instead of just bucket filling everything. Lil Painter has quickly became one of my child’s favorite apps. She loves the music and the ability to save her pictures so she can show them off later. The only complaint I’ve heard from her is she wants more pages to color. Hopefully more will be added with future updates.
