These two FREE apps will bring back memories! Note that while both apps are labeled as ‘guidance suggested’, we can’t find any reason why either would be inappropriate for children so we suspect that label is inaccurate.

I love it, brings back my childhood memories when I had a etch -a-sketch and led lights.

One Amazon reviewer says:
I had one of these contraptions as a kid, and it was awesome, even with the occasional mishap with the circles coming out of the case, or even losing some. The really big plus with this on the Fire, no mishaps, and no losing pieces. =) Just a real joy to play and doodle on.
