Doodle teaches drawing the way a patient adult would: one stroke at a time, on paper, with a ghost to trace and a voice that reads the step aloud for children who cannot read yet.

Four age bands drive everything. Little Artists get 72px tap targets, two to six step lessons and a celebration on every finish. Explorers get short text and stickers. Creators get proportion and construction lines. Studio gets a calm palette and sketching fundamentals.

It is an installable web app that works offline, built tablet-first, and is being wrapped for the App Store now. Lessons are authored as stroke data and rendered by the same engine that animates them in the player.

Features

Lessons that draw themselves

Each step animates onto the canvas, then waits for you to trace it. Show me again replays it.

Four age bands

Little Artists, Explorers, Creators and Studio. Type size, targets, tools and tone change with the band.

Spoken instructions

Every step is read aloud for young children, with a toggle for older ones.

Free draw and gallery

A full canvas with crayon, marker and pencil, and a gallery of finished pieces and photos.

Works offline

Installable, no account, and the whole lesson library stays on the device.
