Alice in Colorland app for iPhone and iPad

This application is designed to be an educational tool for pre-school and lower school children up to the age of 8 years.

★ Drawing by finger is a primary phase for later use of pen or pencil. The application is suitable also for children with visual impairment (low vision children), children with learning difficulties and children with mental and physical impairment.

★ The goal is to create a drawing together with Alice. The user (a child) can choose from 28 different shapes and use them for final image. Each of the shapes has its number which is displayed on the board held by Alice. Subsequently, the user may select a color that will be used for the particular shape. Also a temporary background used as a desktop can be selected (clicking on a numbered table) as well as a final background (also clicking on a numbered table) for completed picture.

★ After primary selection a child can draw the chosen shape. If he is not able to follow the outline Alice will help him using a sponge. That will allow him to go seven steps back. Only if the child is happy with his drawing he can order Alice to transfer the shape onto final picture. The child can follow the same procedures with other shapes to be on the final picture.

★ The completed picture (the camera icon can be used to save the picture in an iPad gallery) may be sent to e.g. grandparents, mom or dad, friends, schoolmates, etc. Each picture also allows few words of wishes or greetings to be entered at its bottom.
