AND GROWING

Like on paper, color isn't cut off at the outline. Kids can scribble freely or practice staying inside the lines, at their own pace.

Color inside the lines.
Or way outside them.

On paper, little hands go past the lines all the time. Pocket Crayon doesn't trap color inside the outline. When kids want to stay inside the lines, it's up to their own hands, just like with a paper coloring book.

Scribble freely

Color doesn't snap to the outline or get clipped, and the line art always stays on top.

Practice staying inside the lines

Color that goes past the outline isn't erased or fixed for them. Staying inside is up to their own hands, one stroke at a time.

No crayons to clean up

No crayons rolling off the table and no crayon marks left behind. Made a mistake? Use the eraser.

Crayon, marker, watercolor & more. 21 colors on iPad, 14 on iPhone.
