New Coloring Book App Color Mix for iPad

Kids Mix Their Own Colors in a New Coloring Book App for iPad - Color Mix for Kids adds an educational twist to a child’s coloring experience. It allows children to mix primary colors on a palette and use those mixed colors to draw.

Children’s creativity has always been limited by a box of colors chosen for them. If their school funds art studies, they may have some opportunity to mix paints and learn the color wheel. However, their exploration via creative play is always restricted by limitations in art supplies, and frankly, the mess that it makes. By using virtual paint, Color Mix for Kids allows for unlimited play and unlimited color selection.

In addition, Color Mix for Kids’ incremental approach to color mixing provides children a more concrete learning experience than traditional finger painting. They can see that equal portions of blue and yellow do not make the same shade of green as two portions of blue and one portion of yellow. This valuable lesson in color theory comes easily through creative play. According to Eightfold Education founder, Justin Lewis, “Color theory is an important educational foundation in order for any early elementary student to develop a talent for art.”

Color Mix for Kids provides a multi-touch enabled canvas to allow siblings or classmates to share and create together. This feature prevents the inevitable arguments that will arise when one child overrides another child’s control of the app.

Designed by parents, Color Mix for Kids has a clean, simple drawing interface. More advanced functionality can be found in a separate menu where kids can select from animal-themed coloring pages, environmentally-themed connect-the-dots, colorful backgrounds and their own photos. Kids can also save their masterpieces to an in-app gallery, saving space in their parents’ iPad Photo Gallery. Color Mix for Kids will also release seasonal updates to the coloring page options.
