Lots of learning possibilities!

I love that the app is open ended. I am excited to use this in the classroom to teach writing, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. Visual and hands on learning that encorporates technology in the classroom. Better than worksheets!
Great for children (and parents!)

This is a wonderful program! My nieces love learning their numbers and working on learning their colors with this and I've seen a huge improvement in them. It's functional yet creative and easy to use. I highly recommend for anyone to use with their children, it's especially good for road trips or times that its hard to get the paper and crayons out. Thanks Building Blocks Media!
great educational game

this app is great stuff. I have two daughters and a son who love to make art and music with this (and rush to show me their "newest bestest creation." I feel good having them play a game that promotes creativity and growth rather than sitting in front of the boob tube.
Well thought-out

Writing educational software is really tricky… you have to strike a lot of balances, and you have a couple of very picky and fickle audiences (small children and teachers!) This app seems to balance many things quite well. Simple clear and engaging graphics, soft ambient sound effects, the transition animations that explain and lead the student to the painting area are helpful but don't get in the way, mostly intuitive to use, and a smirky-fun idea to couple drawing colors with instruments and scales. Of course, being an ex-clarinet player, I'd have preferred a less "goofy" sound for the clarinet example :-) For those who remember the "old" children's software, this feels like a really polished merging of "KidPix" and "Putt Putt". I could envision many spinoff ideas/apps from this.
No mess!

I am a single dad and I love encouraging my kids to make art, but it often means a huge mess. We don't mind the mess when there's time to clean up, but this app is a nice way for them to express themselves creatively when we are short on time or on the go. And I like that they can make 100 paintings and I still have paper left in my printer! Another cool thing: my daughter asked if she could "play the double bass like the octopus." I love that she's inspired to play musical instruments.
Amazing app!

This is a great, easy to use app that allows young children to create both visual art and music. As an educator, I especially love the lesson plans that align to the Common Core standards! They offer activity ideas for using the app with children of all levels to help develop not only creativity, but also math and literacy skills.
Adorable interactive app

I just love the finger painting concept behind this app. Been needing that in my life. Pairing that with the musical characters is pretty genius and makes for endless hours of educational entertainment for the little ones (maybe myself as well). Overall great app, easy to use, love being able to text the final products (paintings) and graphics are really well done in sync with the underwater musical chimes. Love it all! Want more apps from building blocks media!!!
Musical Paint

Musical Paint is a simple app which has some common cores lessons found in the adult section. The user has options found under the question mark to explore outside, go into the museum or paint. Painting on the easel provides a multi sensory experience and children will enjoy writing their name, or drawing pictures. The length of their stroke controls the beat, or length of time each note is played. Six different colors of paint provide the tones of the different instruments featured. The grown up section provides app instructions, lesson plans, tech support and developer information. A fun app for kids.
