Draw with your imagination! Little Pad is a drawing app for children to express their creativity. It contains drawing and painting tools, which are simple to use, yet can create wonderful pictures. You can also easily mix your photos into drawings. There are stamps and stickers available for you to add to the drawings, and you can also create your own stickers from your drawings. One important feature that we added recently is to allow children to capture their drawings and artworks in digital format, which you can keep these precious memories forever.
