• Review: This app encourages kids to paint the black-and-white photo according to their own will and creativity through color-tapping. This simple photo editing app lets kids turn photos into minor works of art they’ll have fun showing off and they can directly post their masterpiece to social network, such as twitter, Facebook, and etc. The app is easy to handle and the exploration of utilizing kids’ creativity will, in turn, better engage them in this interesting inquiry process.
