123 draw cartoons & illustration

Know anyone who likes to draw?

1-2-3 Draw gives you proven, step-by-step instruction by the authors of the popular 1-2-3 Draw book series from Peel Productions. Creative, skill based, and open-ended, youll find it engaging enough to keep kids busy for hours. And easy enough for grownups as well!

For a parent, the appeal is obvious your child has a chance to create impressive drawings (proven success weve sold over 12 million how-to-draw books), which they can then email to Grandma or their friends.

For a teacher, this presents a wonderful way to integrate technology in the classroom and also allow your students to have fun learning from an expert drawing teacher (which youre not, well guess ). Plus you dont need to buy paper, colored pencils, erasers, nor find storage space for them. Nor do you need to give up any classroom space for drawing, which you know your kids love.

Thinking about yourself? Weve had more than one grownup react to 1-2-3 Draw by saying it makes them want to buy an iPad just so they can use this app (seriously).
