對待小孩子玩手機，疏導遠好於堵截。要培養他的正確的觀念，玩可以玩，但是要在正確的時間內且能自制，不能荒廢正事。
剛寫了《Design For Kids - Digital Product for Playing and Learning》這本書的一些感想。這本書里比較系統的解釋了題主的一些問題，什麼樣的App是真正為孩子好的設計，應該怎麼應對孩子對電子產品的沉迷。值得注意的是，即使是一個電子產品設計者，作者依然不贊同給兩歲以下的孩子接觸iPad等產品，這會影響她們對現實世界的認知。
這裡是專欄連接和相關內容《Design For Kids》書摘一：什麼是真正的「寓教於樂」 - Wonder Papa - 知乎專欄
但事實上，那些真正受孩子歡迎，真正能讓孩子在玩中學到物理（憤怒的小鳥和鱷魚洗澡澡），財務管理（Webkinz和Club Penguin），音樂作曲（Toca Band and Baby Piano）。這些與傳統「教育遊戲」最大的區別就是，她們把「玩」放到核心，而把「學」的意義藏在孩子通過遊戲機制努力練習的過程中。
Best Creativity Apps Art Lab for Kids - paper cutting and painting activity for children – create collage like matisse picasso klimt and miro By francois walter
(1.99) Art Lab for Kids– paper cutting and painting activity for children – create collage like matisse picasso klimt and miro is one fun and creative art app. Choose a background and then choose shapes based a particular artists』s style. The results from mixing and matching shapes with backgrounds are sophisticated and slick. Pieces can be moved, rotated or resized easily. There are no IAPs, but I would love it if they added more styles and backgrounds even for purchase. Ads for other apps by this developer are tucked away under a secured screen. Anyone young or old who loves creative arts will enjoy this app. A few quilt possibilities crossed my mind while playing! Highly Recommended. ~Jo Booth OT on 2014-05-15 04:18:51 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Art Lab for Kids a?? paper cutting and painting activity for children - create collage like matisse picasso klimt and miro - Educational App Labo Car Designer(4-8yrs) By Labo Lado Inc.
(2.99) Labo Car Designer is an app packed with fun chidren! It not only allows children to trace, paint, and add custom details to their very own vehicles, but kids can actually drive them along a wonderfully animated path as well! The app provides an outline of the vehicle they choose to trace, then they can paint with an assortment of colors and brush widths, finally kids can add details like sirens or even custom and sized wheels. Then it is time to drive! The child』s creation comes to life as they navigate through fun environments with entertaining obstacles like balloons. This is a great app for fine motor skills, creative play, and, while driving, problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. a of course the app is just plain fun too! What I also like about this app is that chidren with a lot of fine motor difficulty will not be kept from playing the app because they cannot trace well enough. if they try their best, they are able to move on to the driving portion of the app, which is great for those with special needs like my son, who thoroughly enjoyed the app! I highly recommend it. There are no external links, ads, or IAPs. ~Angie Gorz on 2014-05-14 22:19:01 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Labo Car Designer(4-8yrs) - Educational App Draw With Us! – Stickers, Photos, Pencils Fun for Kids By Fox Sheep
(2.99–&>FREE) Draw With Us! – the creativity app for kids. This is a fun creativity app for kids. They can draw and create their own picture with many different colours. They can choose from pencil, texta or paint brush, and there is also an erase or bin the whole picture option. Artworks can also be saved to your device. You can even take a picture of yourself or a friend and decorate with funny accessories. There are also many sticker options available with many different scenes and options to create the ultimate picture. Some of these include characters from past fox sheep apps, others are animals or fun eyes, noses, tails etc. to create creatures or funny images limited only by your imagination. Included in the stickers are party items, construction, sports, princess, animals and so much more. The app comes with some images pre-made to give some ideas or your kids can edit these images as well. The option is there to use symmetrical drawing as well which allows children to create on one side of the page and have their drawing mirrored on the opposite side. Brush sizes can be changed between 3 different sizes and I really love the attention to detail where when you are using the paint brush it shows all the individual brush strokes which I think is quite clever. My only wish was that there was more of a colour option available as the colours are limited a bit. Since it is supposed to be a draw with us app and the main focus seems to be more on the stickers than the actual drawing itself. Completed images are also saved on the homepage where they can be reedited at any time. These can also be added to your devices photo roll. There are no IAP』s and external links are locked from kids. ~Sharon Turriff on 2014-04-07 05:47:17 ==&> User rating: 4 Recommended: Yes - Draw With Us! - Stickers, Photos, Pencils Fun for Kids - Educational App Mini Monet – Creative Studio and Art Club for Kids By Sprite Kids
(1.99) Mini Monet – Creative Studio and Art Club for Kids is a wonderful app for your art loving child (or older!). There are fun coloring pages, blank pages to draw on your own, and many colors, textures, stamps, and 「stickers」 to use while creating. When first using the app the narrator guides you, showing you where the different features are within the app. This is a great way to get the most out of the application. I like that this is an app of creativity, an open ended experience for the child. There are opportunities to share the art with other users of the app, but it requires parental supervision and assistance. There are no in app purchases. I love that this app has weekly drawing challenges. To have that little creative nudge is a wonderful way to get a child to keep working and perhaps inspire them to create something magical. This is a great app. ~Dece Starks Gherardini on 2014-02-21 12:06:12 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes – Mini Monet - Creative Studio and Art Club for Kids - Educational App Drawing Together! By Tipitap Inc.
(2.99–&>1.99) Drawing Together! This is a really cool app for working together and spending time together. It took a bit of effort to actually get the 2 devices to connect together but we got there in the end and it was fabulous. We were able to see what each person was doing and speak with each other at the same time. Each person can see what the other is adding to the drawing. You can choose from 28 pictures that the app comes with as well as 6 backgrounds for free drawing and 6 games that you can play together. Further collections can be purchased via IAP which is locked from kids and you can unlock one of these by connecting the app with facebook which also has a lock on it. The app can also be used as just a drawing and colouring tool for kids as well. An excellent way to share with your kids if you are away or just if you want to share something within your own house. Some special time together. The microphone works better if you are in seperate rooms, as we got a bit of feedback when we were sitting besides each other however this can also be turned off. We had so much fun together doing this. I highly recommend this app. ~Sharon Turriff on 2013-12-09 04:19:14 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Drawing Together! - Educational App Felt Board By Software Smoothie
(2.99) Felt Board is a super creative app. No more losing felt pieces with this felt board! Create to your hearts content.

The pieces are categorized so you can choose from people/features (hair, eyes, etc), clothing, accessories, animals/insects/creatures, outdoor/nature/community, shapes, and letters/numbers. Just drag the piece onto your background. Saving your felt boards is a great feature of this app as well as taking a photo of your creation. This app has so many uses and does not have in app purchases. I highly recommend Software Smoothie』s Felt Board for anyone』s iPad! ~Jackie Bryla on 2013-11-03 20:24:13 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Felt Board - Educational App Doodle Fun Bugs – Draw Play Paint Scribble Sketch Color Creative Adventure Game for Kids Boys and Girls Explorers: Preschool Kindergarten Grade 1 2 3 and 4 By Gil Weiss
(1.99) Doodle Fun Bugs – Draw Play Paint Scribble Sketch Color Creative Adventure Game for Kids Boys and Girls Explorers: Preschool Kindergarten Grade 1 2 3 and 4 is a neat app for younger kids, which includes 19 pages of simple, guided drawing activities, and a page of free drawing. The app』s instructions are narrated, which is great for young children. You can choose from 8 colors and change the width of the paint brush. Also, once the creation is complete, it can be saved to the camera roll. Some of the pictures are more simple, some require more thought, which is good for a range of children. This a great app for creative play. The links in this app are secured by 3 second hold, and there are no ads or IAPs. I would recommend this app to others. ~Angie Gorz on 2014-05-13 09:16:13 ==&> User rating: 4 Recommended: Yes - Doodle Fun Bugs - Draw Play Paint Scribble Sketch Color Creative Adventure Game for Kids Boys and Girls Explorers: Preschool Kindergarten Grade 1 2 3 and 4 - Educational App | AppyMall Imagination Box - colors, shapes, numbers and letters By Sebastian Bachorzewski
(2.99) Imagination Box – colors, shapes, numbers and letters Another Fantastic app from the team at Jump apps. Play Dough comes to life and like the real thing, it can be molded and manipulated in size, shape, and orientation. First choose your background – and decorate it, if you wish with markers or a photo from your camera roll. Then you can begin to add your dough to the scene. Play is limitless and helps builds children』s confidence by creating something out of raw materials without judgement. Learning letters, numbers, and colors are assimilated into play. This app is also going to be a must have for clinicians, especially OT』s working on tactile sensitivities. By having children experiment and learn to be successful with apps like this, it is easier to transition to the real life counterpart because they know what to do. Highly recommended! There are no ads or IAPs. ~Jo Booth on 2013-10-01 05:12:46 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Imagination Box a?? colors, shapes, numbers and letters - Educational App PixieDust – A Creative Drawing and Painting App for Kids, Free for iPad By LittleKits GmbH
(3.99) PixieDust – A Creative Drawing and Painting App for Kids. This is a really fun app for kids to draw and create their own artwork. You can only choose between pencil, crayon or paintbrush for drawing or painting and you cannot change the brush size on these. The effects that you can add in are awesome though. You can bubble balloons, cars and many more as you swipe your finger across the screen add in fun borders or backgrounds or patterns, there is just so much to do. This free version comes with a beginner pack. There are other packs available via IAP which are not locked from children. These include Princess, Party Ocean pack, and it looks like they may add in Dino Fairy later. Still a lot of fun in the free version just make sure you have IAP disabled on your device. ~Sharon Turriff on 2013-08-04 04:48:53 ==&> User rating: 4 Recommended: Yes - PixieDust - A Creative Drawing and Painting App for Kids, Free for iPad - Educational App Lazoo』s Magic Stickers! By PlayDate Digital
(1.99) It』s a fun app to work on the child』s creative and self-expressive side! Food (or your own picture from the device』s camera) is used as the background, and then stickers are used to turn the picture into something else! Time to think outside the norm and even draw/color your own stickers to use within the pictures. And as soon as the user presses 「go,」 the stickers magically become animated. This app is more of an app where there is no one right answer and taking risks rewards the individual with creative new inventive pictures! Very creative and well-done app with no in-app purchases! (and iTunes access can be turned off in parents section) ~Christie on 2013-06-17 20:23:31 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Lazoo"s Magic Stickers! - Educational App Toca Hair Salon 2 By Toca Boca AB
(2.99) Toca Hair Salon 2. Fun app to play, and a great app to help desensitize sensory sensitive kids to the sequence and sounds of getting a haircut. In this app, you can pick from 6 different customers and wash, style and/or dye their hair. I love the fact that when you reopen the app, the characters return to their original state (time to get another haircut!). This teaches us that hair regrows when we cut it and we need to do this periodically. There are so many applications to using this app – learning about shapes and color to segueing into pretend play. The developers have created a page of talking points for parents as well as instructions for disabling photos or links. ~Jo Booth on 2013-06-15 04:52:15 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Toca Hair Salon 2 - Educational App Cute Food – Creative Fun with Fruits and Vegetables, Healthy and Funny Meals for Kids By Sebastian Bachorzewski
(2.99) Cute Food – Cooking App for Kids is such an innovative and creative way to get children excited about fruits and vegetables. Not only will children work fine motor skills as they imagine food masterpieces and gain a broader knowledge base of various fruits and veggies, they will unleash their creative mind in the process. The app is fun and engaging. I can』t help but recommend it because I found myself lost in the creative play as I was reviewing it! I simply could not stop playing with my food. And I don』t think kiddos will either. ::smiles:: Immediately after my fun I found myself craving the most deliciously colourful salad one could ever imagine… and I made that salad a tasty reality! Indeed, I think this app has a lot to offer and is well worth the purchase:) I most definitely recommend it! ~Leora Smith Appleby on 2013-05-27 10:28:40 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Cute Food - Creative Fun with Fruits and Vegetables, Healthy and Funny Meals for Kids - Educational App Nick Jr Draw Play HD By Nickelodeon
(6.99) Nick Jr Draw. This would have to be one of the best free drawing apps I have found around. There are so many things your children can add into each drawing. There are animated stickers that do things when you tap on them. Chalk, crayons, textas, charcoal, pencils, spray paint, and paint brushes all in a huge range of colours with 3 different sizes for each one. There is also the collage maker which puts a collage of stickers whereever you draw your finger and it plays fun music while you are doing that. Some awesome fun splatter tops which splatters paint when you press on it, send it spinning around the page and see where you can get it to splatter paint. Magic Wands which add some wonderful magic to you childs animated artwork. Fireworks, Surprise Blocks, and Bouncing Balls are just some of the other fun animations your child can add to their amazing picture. Well worth the price as it is quite unique. Save your picture and share it with family and friends. A 5 Star app. ~Sharon Turriff on 2013-05-12 06:05:32 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - Nick Jr Draw Play HD - Educational App MyBrushes Pro – Sketch, Paint, Playback on Unlimited Size Canvas with Pencil, Pen, Oil Painting Brush By effectmatrix
(2.99) My Brushes Pro – Sketch, Paint, Playback on Unlimited Size Canvas with Pencil, Pen, Oil Painting Brush This is an app divinchi would be proud of. There are over 50 「brushes」 to choose and several ways to customize that 「brush」 there are even a few that can mimic a good calligraphy pen complete with pressure and direction knowledge. Blending is a snap and if your a fan of stippling this is your app. Want to see how that tat may look or maybe you have an airbrushing idea. See what it may look like before wasting canvas. ~Amanda cabrera on 2013-04-23 16:46:39 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes - MyBrushes Pro - Sketch, Paint, Playback on Unlimited Size Canvas with Pencil, Pen, Oil Painting Brush - Educational App Puppet Workshop – Creativity App for Kids By Sebastian Bachorzewski
(2.99) Puppet Workshop – Creativity App for Kids. This is a very cute app, where you can decorate sock or glove puppets. This app would appeal to the pre school age. The instructions are in an obvious place, addressing the parent to read. Once the parent has told the child what to do, the creativity begins. The child will learn how to decorate his puppet with various items. He can make the items bigger / smaller and rotate them. Then the child can save his new puppet, erase it, and start over. There are a lot of different puppets to pick from as well as a lot of items to decorate with. The child might realize that he can make the puppets out of his old socks, thus setting the scene for a real puppet show. Overall, I thought the app was wonderful for the younger crowd. I couldn』t really find anything that I didn』t like. I would definitely recommend it. ~Cynthia on 2013-04-05 10:45:52 ==&> User rating: 5 Recommended: Yes –Puppet Workshop - Creativity App for Kids - Educational App Mister Maker – Let』s Make It! By P2 Entertainment Ltd
(4.99–&>2.99) Mister Maker – Let』s Make It! This fun app is not only great for encouraging kids creativity it also works on shape recognition as well. The app includes 4 areas of play. Our favourite is the doodle draw where kids can create anything from their imagination. They can draw, paint, spray paint usea roller, clue objects, use stickers, bits and pieces, funny face parts to create an amazing work of art. There are also different types of paper which kids can cut shapes or objects from and use in their creation. There is also a fun smudge option which my kids just love playing with. Once your artwork is finished it gets saved to the gallery. From the gallery you can frame your work. The shapes section requires your kids to pick from one of the 4 shapes and then they have to find a number of shapes hidden throughout each level. These are also colour coded to make it easier for younger children. All objects that you add to your work can be made larger or smaller by either pinching fingers together or by using the slider on the side. The slider is also how you adjust the size of your paint brushes. There are no IAP』s and external links are double locked from kids. ~Sharon Turriff on 2014-05-26 20:17:20 ==&> User rating: 4 Recommended: Yes - Mister Maker - Let"s Make It! - Educational App
