I find that with kids and apps, sometimes simple is best. Such is the case with a funky, fun, creative iPad drawing experience known as Wurm Junior.
A tot-targeted spinoff of the very cool original Wurm app, the Wurn Junior App is a creativity-inspiring drawing app that I'd imagine kids of any age with an artistic bent will enjoy. Select one of the 15 "wurms" and even a 2 year old can easily trace his finger around to create cool, colorful trails using the fun shapes. Even so, my 6 year old loves it just as much.
It's intuitive, kind of zen, and beyond simple--double tap to return to the graphic menu, or shake to clear the screen. That's it. No in-app purchases, no filling Mommy's inbox with screen shots of 479 creations (though you can save a screenshot with the home/power button combo). Even I like messing around with it.
Also: great for college kids on mushrooms.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Developer and designer Anna Oguienko has generated such a cult following with her graphics, that now she even sells great-looking iPod Touch and iPhone cases made from the Wurm junior designs. But I bet it would be cool to take your own kid's drawing, and upload it into a custom iPhone case too. -Liz
Buy the Wurn Junior App for $1.99 for iPhone or iPad, or if you want a lot more functionality and control with your drawings, download the original Wurm app, also for $1.99.
