What's popping out of the book?
Something is popping out of the open book. Pull a favorite picture-book character, or one from a made-up story, right off the page.
You can start drawing right away in the app above. No sign-up needed, and drawings are saved only on this device.
Questions to ask your child
- Who popped out of the book?
- What story is this from?
- What will the character do now?
Adjust for your child’s age
- Around age 4
- Have them draw one favorite animal or character big, right above the book.
- Ages 6–7
- Extend the background so the scene inside the book spills out onto the page, and make up what happens next.
After drawing: try this
Read a favorite picture book together and talk about what its main character would do if they visited your home.
Try it together
- Before drawing, read the question “What's popping out of the book?” aloud and let your child tell you their idea first.
- There is no right answer. The sillier the idea, the better — say “That’s fun!” and your child will draw more boldly.
- When the picture is done, ask your child to tell you the story in it. Tap 💾 Save to keep it as a PNG.
