## What is Draw to Life?

Your child draws a wobbly dragon. Seconds later it's a glossy masterpiece. Then it stars in a storybook — and Sparky reads it aloud. That's the wow moment kids ask for again and again.

HOW THE MAGIC WORKS
• Draw on the in-app canvas or snap a photo of a paper drawing
• Pick from 6 art styles — including Exactly As Drawn, which keeps every wobbly line and simply brings it to life
• Turn favorite creations into illustrated storybooks and short animated movies
• Slide the before/after view to compare the original with the transformation

KIDS MODE WITH SPARKY
Sparky — the purple mascot with rainbow paintbrush bristles — guides little artists with spoken instructions, so even pre-readers can play independently. Kids Mode hides grown-up screens, and a quick-math parent gate protects purchases and settings. The app is available in 9 languages, with Sparky's voice guidance in 8.

LEARN & PLAY: 8 GAMES IN ONE HUB
• Learn to Draw — 15 step-by-step tutorials, from cats to robots
• Drawing Puzzles — 28 jigsaw puzzles with three difficulty levels
• Trace It! — letters, numbers, Hiragana, Katakana and basic Chinese characters, each spoken aloud
• Sort It! — drag-and-drop sorting through animals, everyday things and the outdoors
• What's Next? — 150 pattern puzzles across 5 themed packs
• I Spy — 10 hidden-object scenes
• Pop the Bubbles — fast, giggly tap-to-pop rounds
• Sparky's Splash Dash — an ocean runner with power-ups and an unlockable underwater Deep Dive level
Seasonal events bring themed challenges and collectible badges to the hub.

STORIES THAT READ THEMSELVES
Characters from your child's art star in multi-part storybooks. Choose a story idea by listening, then watch the words light up karaoke-style as Sparky narrates — and tap any word to hear it again, a sneaky little reading boost. Stories continue part after part, and creations generate in the background with progress shown in a notification, so kids never have to stare at a spinner.

BUILT FOR PARENTS TOO
The Parent Dashboard shows each child's week at a glance: creations, screen time and a recent-activity feed with thumbnails. Add up to 10 child profiles, each with its own gallery, streaks, achievements and sticker collection — plus a My Rewards screen kids can visit in Kids Mode.

SAFE BY DESIGN
• No ads, no chat, no social features
• Creations stay private to your family account
• Parent gate protects purchases and settings in Kids Mode
• Gentle, age-appropriate experience for ages 3–10

FREE TO START
Try one creation instantly — no account needed. Sign up to unlock 5 free transformations and 1 free movie, plus free play across the games hub: starter puzzles, daily bubble rounds, I Spy scenes, tutorials and game packs. Trace It! and Splash Dash are included at no cost, with no limits.

PREMIUM
Go further with a subscription: Monthly $9.99 (40 credits per month) or Yearly $79.99 (500 credits per year). 1 credit = 1 artwork or story part; movies use 5 credits.
