Kerpoof.com - Drawings, Movies, Cards and Stories Online

In the "Make a Picture" drawing activity, a web-based art tool that rivals Kidpix, you select a background, and decorate it with several matching stamp objects. All objects can be rotated and resized freely.

In the "Make a Movie" activity in Kerpoof Studio, children can create their own aminated movies. The digital storytelling interface is very well designed and intuitive. Just like in the drawing activity, objects can be added to the background. All objects have methods (e.g. "say", "look scared" or "rotate"), that can be dragged onto a timeline. Serveral scenes with different background inages can then be combined into a cartoon movie. Visit http://www.kerpoof.com/howto/howto.html for more instrucitons on how to create a movie.

The "Make a Drawing" activity is a vector based drawing program for kids. Unlike many more advanced programs, the interface is simple and intuitive.

The "Make a Card" section of Kerproof.com, you build your own birthday cards, grreeting cards, thank-you-cards, get-well-soon-cards, Mother's day cards and Father's day cards. The cards can then be emailed to their recipients.

From the website: Kerpoof is meant to be fun, but we're serious about its educational value. There are many ways that elementary and middle school teachers can use Kerpoof to enhance their classroom activities and meet educational standards as well.

Kerpoof Studios is built using Macromeda Flash.
