Below are some very good iPad coloring apps kids can use to design beautiful creations. The apps differ in what they offer for while some are pretty basic others provide sophisticated tools and 3D elements. Some of the skills kids get to develop through engaging with coloring activities include 'concentration skills, motor skills and eye-hand coordination as well as creative thinking'. We invite you to check them out and share with your colleagues.
