## What is DRAWNIMAL?

Draw funny animals! Learn the alphabet! Expand your device with pen and paper!

DRAWNIMAL is a unique app where kids draw adorable animals while learning the alphabet. With your phone or tablet placed on paper, kids select an animal face from the alphabet menu and draw around the device. The app then instructs how to draw the rest of the animal body. The digital screen is inventively extended with a simple physical interaction, which encourages kids to think outside the box. Hilarious and delightful animations motivate to keep learning.

Our primary goal with the app was to expand your device by using simple tangible tools like pen and paper.

Features:

+ Play with up to 35 animals
+ Get the first 5 animals (A-E) for free
+ Draw animals and see them come alive with animation
+ Practice the alphabet in a creative and interactive way
+ Switch between 5 languages
+ Lively animations and impressive audio
+ No failing, no goal, no wrong or right
+ Supports all iPads and iPhones with iOS 16 or later
+ No internet access needed!
+ No advertisements!

Available in 5 languages with full voice acting: English, Spanish, German, French and Italian!
