Meet a Real, Live Artist (Part 1) – Interview with Chris Lackey
A kid recently asked us: what does an artist do? And we thought: good question! Then we thought: hey, we know some artists, let’s find out. And tada, just like that a new Kidoodle post series was born: “Meet a Real Live Artist”. We hope you can read these to your kids to spark their imagination, get them even more excited about art, and let them get a glimpse of the wide range of creative […]
Thank You + Happy Holidays!
This has been such an amazing year for us at Kidoodle! Thanks to all our fans, friends, and family for the amazing support and encouragement in getting our first app off the ground and getting new ones in the hopper!

Going Mad For The New iPad Mini!
There’s a great new tablet in town and we’re pretty excited about – it’s the iPad Mini! It’s lighter, smaller and easier to carry than a regular iPad, making the iPad Mini perfect for small hands.

Help Kidoodle Support The Red Cross’ Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
We’ve watched with sadness as Hurricane Sandy has devastated many areas of the East Coast. Millions are still without power, and many people have been displaced from their homes due to flooding and wind damage. We want to help support the relief efforts of the American Red Cross and those working to rebuild after the storm, which is why we’ll be donating all the proceeds from downloads of our app, Pirate Scribblebeard’s Treasure for the […]

It’s more appropriate now that he’s 6, but to be honest I think everyone from 5 years up would be inspired by it. It’s called “Artist to Artist” and is filled with ‘letters’ to the creatively inclined child, from 23 successful book Illustrators (heavy hitters like; […]
