Three ways to draw
Choose Trace or Follow for each lesson. Finish Follow to open Memory mode for that picture.
Trace
The guide stays on the page while your child draws over it.
Follow
The line appears, then fades. Watch where it went, then draw it yourself.
Memory
No line at all. Draw it from what you remember, with only the spoken hint to help. Opens once Follow is done.
What is inside
The library is built for a child in Bangladesh, and works anywhere.
Letters and numbers
Trace Bangla, Hindi, English and Arabic letters, plus numbers from 1 to 100. Free from day one
Amar Desh
The rickshaw, the hilsa, the shapla, the national flag, the nouka and the village hut. Things a child here already knows by sight. Free from day one
The world
Animals, farm animals, sea and river life, insects, fruits, vegetables, food, festivals, vehicles, cars, shapes, nature, home, games and 111 country flags.
Places and scenes
Tea gardens, the Sundarban, the long sea beach, hills and waterfalls. Bedrooms, kitchens, playgrounds, markets and rooftops.
Turn a photo into a drawing
Point the camera at a toy, a colouring book or the family cat.
1. Take the photo
From the camera, or from pictures already on the phone.
2. It finds the subject
The app looks for the main subject and turns its outlines into drawing steps. Clear photos with a simple background work best.
3. Draw it
It is saved as a lesson of their own, with colours sampled from the photo itself.
Photos never leave the phone. The conversion happens on the device, with no server involved.
