Paint Sparkles Draw: my first colors HD!
by Kids Games Club

(Reviewed by Columbia Center's Ann Grauer)

I was introduced to Paint Sparkles (for iPhone and iPad) by Sabine, one of the moms from the Germantown Moms Group. She showed my her 11 month old daughter, Luca’s drawing on her iPhone.  I absolutely loved it, as does Sabine and Luca’s grandmother!

The app is free and allows for finger painting, a choice of background colors and lovely sparkles appear as the child “paints”. There are coloring pages with images and the name of the color is heard when used. Afterwards, your little Picasso can have his/her artwork saved in the gallery and shared with loved ones.  It’s guaranteed to make you smile on a blah January day!

Paint Sparkles Draw is available in the iTunes store.
