Anroid SLP App Review: Art of Glow

On app that I have found to be a lot of fun and useful is Art of Glow .  This is a paint program that uses glowing shapes to create pulsating and glowing pictures.

There are lots of settings to play around with on this app.  For toddlers I usually change the settings to speed all the way right, and blink all the way left (and uncheck rebirth).  This creates a fireworks effect that they love and will request.  I usually use this to target colors and shapes (especially fun when you select cycle or random)

By changing amount (right), life time (middle), speed (left), blink (left) and rebirth (checked- if you leave it unchecked the drawing will fade and leave you a new blank screen) you can draw pictures that will stay.  I have found that it captures attention of the kids who are distracted so that we can work on colors, shapes and requesting.

Take a look at this fun app, as well as others from the developers, for more glowing apps that kids find very engaging.
