Shuffle Nurie won KIDS DESIGN AWARD 2011.
The exhibited work at Keio University Workshop Collection 2008 now becomes iPad App!

- Basic Information
“Shuffle Nurie” is an educational application in which you can combine body parts of different animals to create your original drawing for coloring. Through the process of creating animals they have never seen, children become free from stereotypes such as “Lion is yellow” and can develop their innate unconstrained imagination. This application is developed for two purposes. One purpose is to provide children with an opportunity to use their imagination through enjoyable play. The other is to provide parents and child with a place of communication, in which they are expected to enjoy conversation about child’s ideas or animals used in his or her painting.

This application has been used for workshops in famous events and kids facilities in Japan such as “Marunouchi Kids Festa 2009” in Tokyo International Forum, “Workshop Collection 2008” in Keio University and Yokohama Zoo “Zoolasia”. More than 2000 children have joined those workshops and 92.4% answered “I want to join again”. The popular workshop now becomes an iPad App.

- How to play
1) Let’s make your original drawing for coloring
Select “Start” and shuffle animal body parts by touching drawing. You can switch three parts head, body and hip. Let’s make your own animal drawing by combining various animals! (You can paint the drawing on iPad but you can also print it on paper and paint with crayon and etc.)

2) Let’s paint!
You can paint the drawing on iPad. Embody your image by utilizing easy-to-use functions such as Color, Boldness of line, Eraser and Enlargement/ Reduction. There is no right answer to coloring as the animal that you created has never been seen by anybody. Let’s paint with using your imagination.

3) Let’s think about the name and character of the animal!
Thinking about not only colors but also name or character of animal stimulates child’s imagination. Let’s create your own animal with using your imagination.

4) Add to “Gallery”
If you finished painting, push “Finish” button at the upper right to preserve your work in “Gallery”. The Gallery is your own reference book for animal. Let’s fill it up with funny animals. If you push “Upload” button at the lower left, your work will be exhibited on the official website. Your work will join painting works gathering from all over the world.
