Innovative Products From Maped Bring Kids’ Drawings To Life

The new hobby kits allow little ones to transform their drawings into epic cartoons using the free Animaker app.

The Maped Creativ Animaker Flash Set and Maped Creativ Animaker Flip Set are two new kits that allow children to create drawings that can be turned into cartoons with the free Animaker app.

With the Maped Creativ Animaker Flash Set, children start their animation by colouring in the 12 drawings on one of the double-pages in the A4 notebook provided. Once complete, they use the Animaker app to capture a photo of each square, select the pace for their animation, and then they have their very own mini cartoon which can be downloaded.

For mini cartoonists, with the Maped Creativ Animaker Flip Set, children can sketch and colour in the flipbook, before transforming the story into cartoons. By following the guide on the Animaker app, they can film their very own flipbook, select the pace, and their personalised animation will appear. Once downloaded they could even share it as a captivating GIF with family and friends.

Speaking about the new products, Gray Richmond, managing director at Maped Helix said: “Having products that not only encourage children’s creativity but also help bring their imagination to life is something we are really passionate about. For children to be able to see their creations come alive, is something they absolutely love – it takes their imagination to the next level, while learning even more skills – it’s a win-win!”
