Grandoodle is the iPhone app where grandparents ask for a drawing, a photo or a song, and grandchildren answer. You check each one before it's sent, and it becomes a page in Grandma's Album Book.
3 free requests to start. Children don't need an account.
Everything happens on the parent's phone, so your child can join in without an account of their own.
She picks a grandchild and an idea, or writes her own. She can say it in her own voice, too.
A drawing on real paper, snapped and cropped by the camera. Or a photo, or a little voice message.
Nothing is sent until you approve it. Add your child's own words as a caption.
Grandma gets a notification, loves it with a heart, and records a reply your child can hear.
Paper and crayons still win. Grandoodle just gets the drawing to Grandma the same day.
Your child draws on paper. The camera finds the edges of the page and crops it neatly.
A photo of something they made, built or did today.
A short voice message. Songs and jokes very welcome.
