At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Getting kids involved in drawing and painting is a fun way to express their creativity and hone their artistic skills.
Thankfully, there are some useful devices to help them with their artwork. An art projector or writing board is a great way to support kids' burgeoning art skills whilst encouraging them to challenge themselves with different images and special effects.
Drawing stimulates the left and right hand sides of your child's brain, increasing their problem-solving ability and motor skills. Using tools to practice their creativity can help them perform better at school and keep them occupied at home for hours. So, whether your child fancies themselves as a budding artist, or you'd just like something to help build their creative confidence, we've rounded up the best kids' drawing projector and kids drawing board to help you find the one that is right for you.
For more artistic inspiration take a look at this list of the best easels for kids and this list of the best kids' stationery.
The smart Sketcher Projector allows kids to trace and sketch confidently with their pre-loaded ‘learn to draw’ pictures, or you can use their free app to load your own photos if you want to encourage kids to get experimental with painting. It has lots of other activities like tracing, writing and learning to spell to keep small hands busy, making it a good choice for both young children and older ones keen to practice homework.
A bright surface and slim design makes this an easy-to-use, lightweight option for young artists to trace detailed pictures for colouring or painting. It even comes with tracing sheets for inspiration and the frame will hold any art project in place.
This kids' projector for drawing is a great option for getting creative without the need for paper and pencil. Instead, the light-up pegs give a neon effect to whatever image your child creates. The Lite-Brite is also a useful tool to teach kids how to replicate their favourite shapes without worrying about rubbing out mistakes.
A great all-rounder, this tablet's tools for learning making it an ideal choice for the tween age-group. Use it for grammar, language learning and counting homework or just for some fun scribbling. Like with pen and paper, kids can create thinner or thicker lines depending on how hard they push, and all mistakes can be erased with a single button.
The SuperGraph has a unique viewer that allows kids to copy any picture in the easel, bringing them a step closer to producing life-like artwork. It doesn’t require a power supply so is lightweight and portable, making it perfect for family holidays.
A small, easy to transport electronic notepad that keeps kids entertained with no need for crayons, markers or chalk. The reusable, portable surface doesn't require charging and is made to feel just like using paper and pen, making it a perfect companion in cars, planes and on the go.
Let kids express their imagination whilst they scribble and draw on this paperless board. With no need for paper or pens, getting creative with this tablet will also leave your furniture and walls mark-free. Perfect for home-schooling or for use on the move, the handy erase feature means everything they draw can easily be erased to start over again, making this an eco-friendly option too.
Light screens are a brilliant way to build up kids confidence with tracing, allowing them to practice imitating their favourite artist before they do it by themselves. This Glow Art board is great for bringing tracing to life with light and colour settings that animate your child’s works of art.
If you're looking for a screen with some fancy light features, look no further. This Crayola board comes with wipe clean gel markers that make designs glow-in-the-dark when you switch on the frame's LED lights, whilst its removable panel makes tracing simple and satisfying. With this board, kids can add a whole new dimension to their artworks.
The Disney projector is perfect for kids with a passion for films. It's a simple projector that still allows them to practice fine-tuning their favourite Cars characters as they trace and draw. Why not get kids to try painting their favourite character once they have drawn it? The colourful options are sure to get their imaginations racing (sorry!).

Georgia is originally from Essex but moved to Switzerland as a child, attending an international school and igniting her love for experiencing the world and its cultures. She later moved back to the UK to study French with Film Studies at King’s College London. She took a break to enjoy a patisserie-filled year abroad in Paris. Shortly after graduating, she started as an intern at Kidadl in a small team of five, progressing with the company as it grew, to where she sits now as Digital Content Manager. Since returning to the UK permanently, she has been known to take ideas from Kidadl for things to see and do close to home and make the most of London’s incredible travel connections to explore further afield.
