Kids Computer Games Recommendations

Kerpoof is an online art studio where your children can use their creativity to create art or videos using animation! Their imagination is limitless on this site for creating and sharing their artwork with friends. This site has a free way to play and offers more if you become a paid member. Membership is what seems to be standard price for most paid kids sites (about $5/month and less if you sign up for a few months at a time). The best thing is they offer it FREE for Classrooms and School use and I highly recommend teachers checking out that option. This site inspires creativity and offers tutorials on how to create. I will outline what you can do for free and also write on what the benefits of a paid membership are.

Sign up for a free membership and you will be able to utilize saving pictures to a gallery, emailing your creations to friends, sharing your creations with everyone on the site and adding favorite things to your backpack for you to use on other applications. It is broken down as shown: Make a Picture, Movie, Drawing, Card or Story.

Make a Picture

You need to pick a background first that you want to design on. Even with a free signed up membership you get TONS of options. After you pick a design a page comes up with lots of options for adding text, pictures, word bubbles, shapes and just about anything else you would need to add to a picture. There is also a search option so a child that knows how to spell can look for specific graphics to add. You can rotate, stretch and move the graphics wherever you like. There are so many options here and my 5 year old daughter had fun playing with this as well as my 9 year old son. You can print your creation and you can save it for others to look at. As you submit and rate other’s pictures you earn coins that can be used to spend in the shop on new graphics, music, drawing tools, etc. VERY fun and it was nice to go through with my kids and look at what other people had created. There really is no limit to what kinds of pictures you can create.

MAKE A MOVIE

The first thing you need to do is select a storyline to make a movie. Kerpoof then allows you to select from several different scenes. I recommend this for ages 7 and up as it was a little difficult for my daughter who is just beginning to read to understand all that is involved in creating a movie. Still with some assistance even a younger child would be able to make a short movie without much difficulty using this application. You drag objects into the picture. Clicking on the object tells you WHAT that object is allowed to do. There is an instructional video on the site on how to make a movie that I recommend the kids watching to maximize their potential in use. The movie making application is A LOT of fun and you can add music, new scenes and more to make it your own. This was also the BEST movie making application I have come across for younger kids on the internet yet! My son is telling all his friends to sign up to make movies and they are having a blast.

MAKE A DRAWING

Make a Drawing is like a huge Doodle Pad filled with cool options to enhance your drawing experience. The shape censor allows for you to draw perfect circles, triangles, rectangles or squares. The color mixer allows you to get get whatever color you want perfect. You can change the thickness of lines drawn, move objects around, use different drawing tools (as you buy them with coins earned), erase, email, print and more. It is amazing to see some of the creations made with this application and fun to go and rate some with the kids. Cool and very simple to use platform and I feel ages 5 and up would “get it” and be able to create with it.

MAKE A CARD

Pick an occasion from the many offered and begin to design a card. Using the graphics given to you and using the search you can find anything you need to make a unique and creative card. You can add your own special touches by drawing on it as well and they have lots of occasions to choose from. My children started making their friends birthday cards on the computer a while back and really love it. This program makes it easy to do so. They think of things that person enjoys and do searches for graphics of them to add to the card to make it special for the person receiving it. Another great application from Kerpoof!

MAKE A STORY

Choose from a storyline and let your imagination take over. Design each page with text, pictures, objects you have drawn and anything else you can imagine. Keep adding pages as you develop your story and then print, email and/or save. My 9 year old son really enjoyed doing this and I feel it is an excellent activity to inspire creativity.

KERPOOF OVERVIEW Free/Paid

With a free membership you can still edit an avatar, buy many more drawing tools, music, backgrounds etc. You can also add your favorite graphics to your “backpack” so that they are there to use no matter what background or drawing application you pull up. My son has played on this site for hours and is not yet asking for a paid membership. Paid membership DOES allow for the maintenance of their ad-free site which is highly valuable when you have young children. If Alex continues to play on the site and enjoy it (which I believe he will) I will definitely obtain a membership for him. Kerpoof also has a coloring page for younger children to print out which is WONDERFUL and has MANY pictures.

For the paid membership ($4.39/month) you get the ability for your kids to chat (safety), create and join groups and also have fun with “Buddy Draw”. You also get access to more special effects, characters, avatar styles, props, music, movies to build from, and tons more stuff to spend your “Koins” on.

Kerpoof is easily one of the best art sites I have found online for kids and adults of all ages. After I visit a site like this I am so inspired and happy that I get to review children’s games! Thank you Kerpoof for providing high quality content, encouraging creativity and imagination all with an easy to use interface and most importantly in a very safe environment for kids!
