Crayola light-up tracing pad printables

Sadly, my kids’ interest in most drawing apps are growing more and more short-lived.

The basic digital coloring pages just don’t hold the interest of a seven and nine-year-old they way they once did.

And then we found the My Virtual Fashion Show from Crayola. Which sounds like nothing I would actually think to try, and yet it turns out to be one of my favorite kids’ apps of the year so far.

This fashion illustration/app hybrid (iOS and Android) is like the best of hands-on illustration and creativity, coupled with the best of technology.

The gist is that kids get the book, design their own outfits on the pre-drawn models, then snap a photo of it in the app. Next thing you know, a model–who they can customize as well, down to her skin color, hair style and accessories–will walk the runway showing off your kids’ designs in semi-glorious 3-D.

Line a few up and you’ve got your own homegrown Project Runway finale to watch.
