Description
Magic Canvas is a popular application that is spreading across the world from Japan.
In this application, users play with pictures drawn by popular picture book authors and illustrators.
A variety of pictures have been carefully crafted to be enjoyable for both kids and adults. Experience different locations such as the ocean, forest, and sky, all while nurturing your child.
It's easy to operate, even with the fingertip of a child under 1 years of age.
Magic Canvas expands your child's field of vision, stimulates their curiosity, and allows them to learn about the world, essentially hitting more than two birds with one stone.
We hope you have a wonderful time playing Magic Canvas together with your children.

[Goals for Magic Canvas]
- We value the concept of an application that fosters communication between children and adults. The intention isn't to simply give children a tool to play with.
- We hope it can help to nurture your child's various senses by exposing them to pictures with a real-life feel from a young age.
- We aim for it to be a tool that allows adults to kick-start their child's new discoveries and inquisitive minds.
- We have put consideration into making Magic Canvas as user-friendly as possible by making it feel like you're reading a picture book, even though it's an application.
- We aim for it to allow children who cannot yet speak to reach the ability to communicate with adults.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful interactive app I use with my daughter
My daughter 2¾ yo, loves to show me all of the different scenes and explain to me what she thinks is happening. It’s ever changing as her imagination grows and I love that I get to glimpse what HER take on life is, at this tender age. We always use this together and it doesn’t feel like a static game or just another app to occupy her time while I race to get things done. It’s a chance for us to reconnect throughout the day and share OUR world together in a way that we wouldn’t normally have.
We’ve also noticed that the scene never seems to be exactly alike every time, which is delightful as she gets to try and tell me why she thinks this is (“mommy this squirrel came out this time bc his nap is done!”).
I would say the only con, and a tiny one at that, is that you have to buy each theme separately. I would love to just buy all at a fixed price so she can explore everything. I suppose that there are many developers working on this project and they get paid according to which “theme” is individually picked, as you must buy them separately. Perhaps we could have the choice to buy all of them at once and then another option when 5-10 more are made to buy them as an additional package for another $10 each time.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this app to anyone with or without children bc I think it could even be used in mindfulness as well
Beautiful
Each image is full of surprises. There is a curtain feeling of mystery and discovery as you interact with the artwork. The app uses only taps and swipes so it’s easy for children to use.
IDK
Haven't used yet so can't review at all. However, when you see no reviews listed and a caption stating that the review list was recently reset...well, my curiosity is not just PIQUED, but rather is at high-PEAK! When exactly was it reset and, more importantly, WHY was it reset? Surely I can't be the only one with piqued curiosity. Or am I? Idk
