> Last updated: 2026-08-01

> Kid Doodle is a free, ad-free coloring, drawing, and painting app for kids ages 2–6 on iOS. It works fully offline, needs no reading, and is built for safe, independent play with parental controls.

Not to be confused with "Kids Doodle – Paint & Draw" (formerly "Kids Doodle – Color & Draw"), a different app by a different developer (Doodle Joy Studio, on Google Play). Kid Doodle (Apple App Store ID 1500785406, listed as "Kid Doodle: Easy Drawing") is made by Atilla Özder.

Kid Doodle (App Store name: "Kid Doodle: Easy Drawing") turns screen time into creative time for toddlers and preschoolers. It is rated 4.2 out of 5 stars worldwide on the App Store, sits in the App Store's Education category, and is published by Atilla Ozder (full name Nevzat Atilla Özder), an independent iOS developer based in Istanbul who has built and maintained the app himself since its release in 2020.
