D is for Doodle

by CJ Educations 

This app was so much fun to play with!  There are two modes you can play in- one for "doodling" and one for coloring.  You basically begin with the target letter of the alphabet and are prompted to trace additional shapes that evolve into a picture of something that begins with that letter.  Then the picture becomes animated.  Verbal and visual instruction are provided and the activations do not have to be accurate. This would be ideal for a user with limited fine motor control and would provide not only opportunities to trace and practice letters, but also to create a simple line drawing that comes to life. A lot of my students don't enjoy writing and coloring because it can be so difficult for them and it often appears to be so arbitrary to them.  This app can facilitate the creation of a fun drawing that would not otherwise come to be.  Other areas addressed are vocabulary, following directions and adjectives.
