When you point your device at the printed flashcard a beautifully rendered 3D animal will pop up on the screen. Tap the animal to hear the letter and animal name."

This site allows children to create art in a variety of ways. Children can create pictures by simply printing out a picture to color or digitally painting a picture. This site also provides a wide variety of games based on matching, Internet safety and identifying what is different in pictures. The only down side to this site is your work cannot be saved. If you want to keep your work you have to print it out. I thought this is a great site for younger children because it can easily be navigated through pictures.

Open-ended drawing and story creation for children.

Kerpoof is all about having fun, discovering things, and being creative. Use kerpoof to make artwork, make an animated movie, make a printed card, t-shirt, or mug, tell a story, make a drawing, etc!!!

Kerpoof Studio is a website for children to create books, cards, drawings, movies, or a picture. It is sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, but is not Disney themed. It is easy to navigate and very child friendly.

Report from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop

Site for creating artwork and images ideally for children ages 3 to 12. Anyone can access and download the application for free from the website (tuxpaint.org). The application has special features to engage children, including sound effects when tools are selected and used, and a cartoon displayed in the corner to give help and hints. The drawing tools that are available for children to use are paint brush, rubber stamp, line tool, shape tool, text tool, special effects (magic) tools, eraser, and undo. Also, teachers and children can easily open, save, and print creations.This program could be used in an early childhood setting to help children work on fine motor skills by using the mouse on the computer. It can also foster creativity because the children are allowed to create whatever they want, however they want, and there is no limit on the amount of pictures that can be created. I would use this program in centers in the early childhood setting so that children could get equal opportunity and assistance, if needed.

Snapfish has a really neat way where teachers and parents can communicate with each other by posting thier pictures to a secure room. It is a really great way for parents to share pictures of their vacations, outings, or fun adventures they experience with the class. There is also a way that parents can take their child's artwork and turn it into calendars, purses, etc.

Snapfish is an online place to print, share, and create with your digital photos. Post and share your photos with a group, class, team, or club. All photos and students' work can be posted and published in one convenient room. This is a great way for teachers, parents, and students to get to know one another by sharing their photos, in a safe and secure room. There are also great tips and ideas for taking pictures, projects, and gifts.

This site is great for young children who are learning to use the computer. On this site there is online coloring, print-and-play activities, and storybook creations. This site is easy to navigate, it's child-friendly, and it's free. Everything on this site is about Dr. Seuss and there are things for parents as well. I really like this site!

Thecolor.com is a website that has hundreds of online coloring pages available for children. The coloring pages are separated into different categories. Some of these categories include alphabet, animals, holidays, insects, and pets. After students finish their coloring creations, they can save them into their own personal gallery and also print them off of the computer.

Even though coloring sheets aren't generally the most creative activity, this could be a good site for children who need practice manipulating the mouse because they can use mouse clicks to color a picture.
