I wanted to encourage Little Miss to be creative so a couple of years ago when I got my iPad mini I got her and her brother some fun artistic apps that would encourage her creativity. I quickly found out that Kalediscope Pro, Kidglow and for a time Reading Eggs were here favorites.
This was one Little Miss did last summer so she was seven and a half.
I had people telling me they would never let their children use tablets, but I found that apps like Reading Eggs which is phonics based actually helped Little Miss improve in her reading, and she was able to do that in the matter of weeks, and art apps are great for those long car rides or appointments.
I agree that there has to be boundaries, that we need to encourage children to pick up paper and markers and create just as they need to know the joys of reading actual books, what I am saying is there is a happy medium.

I think it is so important there is balance; I'm not saying you shouldn't but let there be balance and under parents' supervision. Yours sound like a happy mix! :)
Or in my case Aunties supervision, but yes I try to make it a happy mix!
All the better, we aunties have a third party advantage.. ;)
That we do!
Yes, there are great apps on their to boost learning and creativity, not all is bad. She's such a cutie! I miss my son being little <3
Thank you, she's my little niece but spoil her like my own lol!
She's a tiny cutie pie!
Thank you she's growing to fast lol
Thats cool. I got my son started with digital art (Im a digital artist) back when he was in fourth grade. He graduated last year, Dual enrollment High school and two years college. He just got a internship with Sony Gaming Division. Dont push, just provide the tools and encouragement.
That's what I do, it was actually she who said she wanted to do it so I looked up some age appropriate apps and let her choose a couple. I love your digital art!
