Crayola Color Alive Easy Animation is an innovative kit/toy that gives your child the tools to make their own animated videos. Parent testers raved about the kit’s ability to combine creativity and drawing/coloring with the inherent fun of an iPad. The required app, that is free to download, includes free characters, backgrounds and a few animated poses. There are 10 different characters which gives kids a nice variety of options to create a unique set of stories. Also included are different backgrounds that added settings for their “movies” and sparked story ideas. The posable mannequin really got imaginations going and as an added bonus it can be played with separately. Parents were amazed with the quality of the videos their young children were producing. The graphics are great and worked well with the motions the kids added. It also allows you to add your own sound for even more personalization.
