Look, then try.
Collect coloured paper, a background sheet and a child-safe glue stick. Ask a grown-up to cut shapes, or tear your own. Move the pieces before gluing; there is more than one way to make a picture.
Create with a grown-up. An adult helps with cutting. Use child-safe glue, keep small scraps out of mouths and keep devices away from glue.
Use a finger, stylus or mouse in each drawing box. Type below it, or ask a grown-up to write your words. Your work stays in this tab. Save before refreshing or leaving.
