App/Program for Windows 10 for toddler to draw

[gazzarose]

Evevning ladies and gents,

I was on my laptop earlier and my 2 yr old came over and wanted to push buttons and touch colours on the screen so I opened paint and he was enjoying scribbling away. Only problem with paint is one touch in the wrong place and it all goes a bit wrong. Has any found a program for a touch screen laptop that he could just pick a colour and have a scribble with out worrying about pressing things he doesn't need. Basically a laptop version of a piece of paper and a box of crayons. I've tried searching for drawing apps, but they are either for a tablet/smart phone, or they are for proper drawing not just scribbling and learning colours.

Virtual beers for anyone who points me in the right direction.

Cheers

Gareth

You're better off getting something cheap like an Amazon fire tablet and then using the endless list of apps such as Cbeebies for doodling and noise creation. They *will* tap the wrong key / power off / sneeze on the laptop or drop it, or your screen will get covered in endless smears and crusty mountain ranges built up from various snacks solidifying off their fingertips.

If you do want them to use the laptop, try something like:

Thanks. We've got an old Samsung tab3 that we use in the car for him to watch seemi gly endless repeats of Thomas the Tank so I could put something on there. I'll give the ceebeebies thing a go on the laptop as well. He would only be using g it when I'm m with him so hopefully I can avoid 'too' many bodily fluids.

It's worryinf how quickly toddlers learn, everyday he seems to be able to do something else, they seem to just take to technology like its natural.

ArtRage is pretty good. Also look at Paper 53
