“Help!  I’m stuck for something to do while I watch the grand kids!”

Grandmothers, when you run out of ideas and you’re with the children, YouTube is not always the best place to let them go…no matter what they say.  Even the Star Wars Lego’s videos on YouTube can go in a risque direction.

This online interactive drawing tool with voice option will keep them busy.  They can exchange drawings with their friends with verbal descriptions as they draw or make their latest pictures for mom and dad.  It can be embedded on blogs, websites or emailed quite easily too. 

If you’re a teacher, it’s a fun tool to teach with or have the children teach each other (and you can see if they really do understand that latest math problem). 

Art teachers, you can show them how to ‘see’ what they want to draw in shapes…circles, triangles, rectangles, etc.  It’s a good way to connect the shapes while giving verbal directions with the drawing.

Foreign language teachers can use the ability to let your students draw while they speak in the foreign language for an assignment.
