EASTON, Pa., Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Crayola, the colorfully innovative brand inspiring creatively-alive kids for 115 years, announced today it is expanding its digital portfolio to include Crayola Create and Play, a new, fun, interactive and safe app for kids.
Designed for kids ages three to five, Crayola Create and Play features exciting STEAM-inspired content and interactive activities that are thoughtfully designed to spark kids' imaginations and help them develop beneficial skills such as learning logic, coding, dexterity, cause and effect, caring for pets, color theory and more. With creativity at its core, the app features five immersive areas of play, with relevant games and engaging activities for every type of kid – from creative art experiences to caring for pets and more.
"As a leader in creativity, we believe there is an opportunity to inspire children to develop and express their imaginations, both physically and digitally," said Josh Kroo, Vice President of Marketing Communications and Interactive Platform at Crayola. "We also know that for parents, it can be challenging to feel confident that their child's screen time is helping them to grow, learn and think creatively. That's why in partnership with Crayola's education experts, we set out to develop Crayola Create and Play as an interactive and fun app that parents can trust and feel good about their kids' digital experience."

Like all Crayola products, the app is completely safe, trusted and worry free and includes no in-app purchases or ads, other than the monthly or subscription costs. It is also COPPA and GDPR compliant. The app itself is an offline experience so there is no risk of children interacting with others online.
