The ultimate antidote to 'brain rot' that turns screen time into a kitchen-table art studio.
Art For Kids Hub is arguably the best use of a tablet in a family home. It moves the needle from passive consumption to active creation, and it does so with a warmth that’s rare in the 'influencer' era.
While you can find their videos for free on YouTube, the app is a worthwhile investment if you want to eliminate the risk of your kid clicking away into weird 'Elsagate' content or unboxing videos. It’s clean, it’s focused, and it actually builds a skill.
Perfect for ages 4 to 12. Preschoolers will need a parent to help with pausing and line placement, while older kids can fly solo for an hour.

Teaches genuine fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and the ability to break complex objects down into simple geometric shapes.
