Kinder kreieren mit echten Stiften auf echtem Papier ganze Fantasiewelten, in denen künstlerisch begabte Tiere dann aufregende Abenteuer erleben. So wird Kindern die Faszination des professionellen Zeichentrickfilms eröffnet und die Möglichkeit gegeben Teil eines echten Filmteams zu werden. "Mitmalfilm" setzt auf sinnvolle Nutzung von Medien: gemalt wird analog auf echtem Papier, das Handy/Tablet wird nur zur Erstellung und Betrachten des Films genutzt. Wie es funktioniert: - Bemal dein Mitmalbild mit Buntstiften, wie es dir gefällt - Mach mit der App ein Foto von deinem Mitmalbild. - Genieße deinen eigenen Trickfilm Features: - Erstellung von Mitmalfilmen aus deinen Mitmalbildern (Mitmalfilm-Malbücher sind im Buchhandel erhältlich) - Automatische Bilderkennung - Deinen Mitmalfilm kannst du herunterladen und auf deinem Gerät speichern, verschicken und teilen - Kindersicher, ohne Werbung oder In-App-Käufe - Erklärvideo in der App - ideal für Kinder von 4-7 Jahren Voraussetzungen: - Diese App funktioniert nur zusammen mit den Mitmalbildern, die auf Papier mit echten Buntstiften bemalt werden.
