Good questions

What happens in black and white?

The color pictures become line drawings to color in, so the word tells your child which crayon to pick.

Can I type my own words?

Yes. Choose “Type your own words” and type one on each line. A word that has one of our pictures gets its picture. What you type stays on your device.

Where do the pictures come from?

Every picture is one of our own hand-drawn crayon pictures.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
