This FREE app seems to be the Cadillac of kids’ writing apps for the iPad. It helps kids to “imagine, create and publish” their stories. Kids can begin with one of the 50 story templates available within the app or they can write an original story.  You can create your own drawings using the 100+ markers, stamps, and stickers in this app. You can also take your own photos or upload existing photos/art for your story.  With all of that flexibility the sky is the limit as far as what kids can create – story books, travel journals, cookbooks, nature guides, etc.

After creating the story, kids can customize the cover and add information about the author. Books can be shared in a variety of ways – via email, via Facebook, to the Scribble Press public gallery, or to iBooks to be read and reread later.

Scribble Press was created by two moms 5 years ago. They started by opening retail studios where kids could publish their own books in New York and Los Angeles. The app came out when they decided to go digital after their success in the retail market.  Anyone who creates a book using Scribble Press can order a hardback copy as well as other cool things. Imagine what wonderful gifts your child’s creations would make for birthday and holidays!

Highly recommended!
