Coloring for Kids vs DrawAnywhere
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Coloring for Kids
Lets your child simply paint with its fingers. He just have to choose a template, pickup colors on the palette and draw with a little tap. The drawings can be saved on the device and shared by mail or using social networks.
DrawAnywhere
DrawAnywhere lets you sketch, annotate, and highlight directly on top of any screen — great for video courses, tutorials, and presentations.
