The iPad isn’t very childproof. It’s fragile and dear and we cannot imagine why you’d desire to hand it over willy nilly in your kids . That said, if you’ve money to burn and do not mind letting small hands tool around with high-end consumer products, then this could tickle your parental fancy. Announced as a collaboration between Griffin Technology and Crayola , the Crayola ColorStudio HD app for iPad matches a marker-shaped digital stylus — the inventively titled iMarker — together with your child’s LCD-colored imagination. The chunky, kid-friendly stylus mocks the end of a pen, crayon, marker or paintbrush as your doe-eyed youngin’ swipes along 30 plus animated pages — all while sitting too with reference to the screen. If free is the main in your heart, go ahead and grab this now at the App Store — it is the marker clone that’ll set you back 30 bills. That said, it is a small price to pay for your child’s happiness . Also, digital Burnt Sienna — need we are saying from now on?

Nashville, TN / Easton, PA – July 6, 2011 – Griffin Technology, some of the world’s foremost creators of innovations for daily life, and Crayola, whose products have inspired artistic creativity in children for greater than 100 years, announce the supply of Crayola ColorStudio HD for iPad, an adjunct and app combo that blends coloring with cutting-edge mobile technology.
Crayola ColorStudio HD is a wholly new digital play experience, coupling a multi-activity drawing app for iPad with a marker-shaped digital stylus, iMarker. With the functionality of a marker, crayon, pen and paintbrush in a single, iMarker allows young artists to engage with animated coloring book pages that move and react while being colored. The iMarker brings the ColorStudio HD App to life on iPad, generating custom-produced pictures, animations, sound effects, music and other computer graphics with each touch at the Multi-Touch display.
“We adore creating technology for children, and our partnership with Crayola allows us to raise their signature blend of child-friendly creativity into the digital world,” said Mark Rowan, President of Griffin Technology. “ColorStudio HD is the primary of many offerings to return from this exciting partnership.”

The Crayola ColorStudio HD App is ready to differentiate automatically between a child’s finger input (taps, swipes, etc.) and the input from iMarker. For the primary time, users may be able to manipulate both the creative space and color without needing to toggle between app modes. The ColorStudio HD App provides hundreds of hours of playtime, with greater than 30 animated coloring pages, pictures, sound effects and music. Young artists even have the choice to design a limiteless variety of their very own coloring pages using ColorStudio HD’s extensive built-in library of backgrounds, music, sound effects and other elements.
