Think your child could be the next great movie director? Help your son or daughter make their first short film with Movie Maker for Kids.
Geared toward ages 6 to 8, the app features a wealth of cute characters that will be familiar to those who’ve used other award-winning software from German developer Fox & Sheep.
Start by helping your budding auteur select the characters and props they want to feature within their story. Next, add the film’s setting—perhaps a cityscape or a winter wonderland—and an atmospheric score.
Once you’ve dreamed up the perfect plot with your child, hit record and—Action!—move the characters around the scene, making bees’ wings flutter or a fire engine race across the screen using your finger. Click on the top left of the screen to add special effects.
Add further effects, decorations, and characters with in-app purchases. Then grab some popcorn: You can rewatch saved films or share them with friends and family for a world premiere.
