Description

Children can travel through the solar system and explore the unseen realms of space with PaintPad. As well as having an amazing time exploring planets and other space objects, they can have fun painting and colouring them.

How it works
PaintPad Space encourages creativity as children are introduced to a selection of space-themed objects and planets to paint and colour.

Our gentle guide helps children stay within the lines, helping to improve their fine motor skills, while they have fun colouring.

After their drawing is complete, they can watch it zoom off in an animation and a clear voiceover spells out the object's name in phonics for them to learn. The app will then store your child’s beautiful creations for you to look at, share or go back to later.

As well as improving artistic abilities, PaintPad will help build your child’s vocabulary and allow them to explore an exciting new environment.
