If you’re in search of an engaging educational app that your 6-8 year old won’t tire of, meet Scribble. Scribble is a darling app that allows early elementary ages to tell their stories in age appropriate ways that builds their confidence as writers and gives them the creative freedom to write, illustrate, and even share their stories. Scribble is based off Fingerprint’s successful Scribble Press app that has been called “hands down the best story creation app.” Fingerprint took their award winning Scribble Press app that has been been used by kids and families since 2011, made it better, and relaunched it as Scribble last week. With endless possibilities for creating, Scribble Creative Book maker lets kids tell stories in their own way.

Using Scribble

Upon launching the app and tapping on the Create a Story button, kids are taken to a screen that contains templates based on the theme of their story. Multiple kinds of story books can be found in the About Me, Animals, Fairy Tales, and Imagination section. There’s also a blank book for kids who don’t quite find something that meets their needs or want to write a book of their own.

Scribble Story Starters: New story starters help get kids right into the fun and creativity. Kids can also start with a blank page and write any story they like. More information on TechSavvyMama.com

After selecting a book, kids get started on filling in the blanks. Think of it as Mad Libs but in story form with 30 fill-in-the-blank story starters that range from the silly to the sublime.

Blank boxes and animated fingers tell kids where to insert their own words to personalize their stories. Pop up directions help kids get started and provide just enough text in kid-friendly font for ages 6-8 to read without getting overwhelmed.

Scribble Fill in the Blank Pages encourage kids to tell their own stories. More information on TechSavvyMama.com

After adding text, it’s time to illustrate! The icons along the the right side of the screen let kids access 300+ drawing tools lets children customize books quickly and easily.

Scribble Stickers: More than 300 beautiful digital stickers, characters, backgrounds, stamps and drawing tools are included for kids to use. More information on TechSavvyMama.com

There is a paint palette for kids to draw their own imaginative creations, a huge selection of stickers that can be added and then flipped any direction, backgrounds that can be used to fill the page, and young authors and illustrators can even take a photo or grab one from your device’s photo library, record some sound, or add music. Having children narrate their stories provides them with reading practice that they will be excited to do because kids this age love to hear their own voices!

Scribble Music, Voice Recording, and More: Kids can add music and their own voice to any story. More information on TechSavvyMama.com

If the things that were added to your page aren’t quite right, the Undo button at the bottom of the icons lets you fix it with just a tap. When your page is just how you want it, the DONE button in the upper right corner leads you to the next page.

Summary

The easy to use format of Scribble makes it the perfect app to motivate ages 6-8 to use their reading and writing skills as they become creative storytellers. It’s great for families as well as in an early elementary classroom setting. With just a couple of iPads, Scribble could easily be used for center work. With just a couple of iPads in the classroom, students could access their individual accounts, create stories, and pair up to swap devices and read each other’s stories. The audio recording button provides a way to differentiate learning but serves as a huge motivator for reluctant readers who resist reading but love hearing their own voices played back to them.

Scribble is available today in the Apple App Store, Google Play, or via Samsung Kids for $4.99 and is worth every penny! For more information, visit fingerprintplay.com or facebook.com/FingerprintPlay.

    My little one would love the blank book feature because he’d probably write about Star Wars. What a creative way to integrate technology into story telling!

      What a great idea! I love it when kids write about the things they love and Star Wars or anything space would be a great topic!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
