Little Lines on iPad: a unicorn coloring page with a palette of colors
The magic trick

Color stays inside the lines

Every stroke stays in the area where it started. Little hands can scribble with joy and the picture still looks lovely – so there is pride instead of frustration.

  • No outlines painted over, no tears
  • Works with a finger – or with Apple Pencil on iPad
  • Older children can switch it off and color freely

Grows with your child

A mode for every age

From the very first scribbles to careful coloring. Parents pick the mode in the parents’ area.

The youngest

Colors appear by themselves

The right colors are already prepared. Wherever a little finger goes, the picture comes to life.

Toddlers

Scribbling

Wiggle and scribble anywhere – the color stays neatly in its area.

Little ones

Tap to fill

One tap fills a whole area. Quick, satisfying and great for small hands.

Preschool

Simple palette

A few big, cheerful colors to choose from – no getting lost.

Bigger artists

Custom colors

Pick any shade you like and make the picture truly your own.

The oldest

Free coloring

No helping hand at all – color over the lines, just like on paper.

For the youngest

Magic under every finger

A gentle start: the colors are already chosen, so even a two-handed swipe turns into a bunny in the meadow. Calm sounds and no pressure.

Count and color

Connect the dots, color by number

Follow the numbers from dot to dot until a picture appears – then color it in. Or match every number to its color and watch a calm puzzle come together.

Color by number: a friendly T-Rex with a number in every area and numbered colors below
Your own ideas

Draw your own coloring page

Draw a house, a sun, a star – lines snap together by themselves, and your drawing becomes a coloring page. You can also add pictures from Photos or Files (with a parent’s help).

Connect the dots

42 pictures in 3 difficulties – from a few big dots to real counting practice.

Color by number

About 100 pictures where every number has its own color. A calm puzzle for older kids.

Notebooks

Lined, squared or blank pages with a lovely page curl – plus tracing letters A–Z and numbers 0–9.

Finish the picture

27 drawings to complete – the dog lost its tail, the car its wheels. The task is read aloud, then the drawing is colored in.

Lots to discover

Small app, big creativity

Brushes and sparkly effects

Real-feeling tools and playful effects that make every picture different.

  • Marker
  • Pencil
  • Oil paint
  • Acrylic
  • Spray
  • Crayon
  • Glitter
  • Rainbow
  • Dots
  • Stripes

Apple Pencil and fingers

On iPad, Apple Pencil pressure makes lines thin or bold, and fingers work too – if parents allow it. On iPhone, little fingers do the drawing.

Apple Pencil Pro

Squeeze the Pencil and a little palette of colors pops up right at the tip. While it hovers, a preview shows the brush before it touches the page – on iPads and Pencils that support it.

Says colors aloud

“Red!”, “Blue!” – the app names the picked color in your family’s language, and letters and numbers too. Great for learning colors; parents can switch it off.

Made for lefties, too

With the left-handed layout, colors move to the left and tools to the right, so the drawing hand never covers them.

Smart colors

Add a picture and Little Lines recognizes what it shows – right on the device – and picks fitting colors. It learns from a parent’s corrections. No internet needed.

Your own pictures

Turn a photo or a picture from Files into a coloring page, or draw your own.

A little celebration

When a picture is done: confetti, a star and a new sticker. It can even show how much is colored, in percent.

Profiles for siblings

Each child gets their own profile, with their own pictures and progress.
