Based on the popular book series, Scribbles and Ink is a unique interactive game for children ages 4 to 8 that puts their creations straight into the animated series. The app provides the tools to draw objects that can then interact with the main characters Scribbles and Ink in different open-ended stories. Kids artwork can also be saved in a gallery for viewing any time.
This series began in 2010 as a single picture book about a scribbly cat named Scribbles and an inky mouse named Ink, and it gradually grew into something much larger. It started as a cross between Harold and the Purple Crayon and Tom and Jerry, then gradually grew into something entirely unique. Today, there are millions of users on this interactive online app, and millions more readers across the eight titles on Epic. It has been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards, received a Kidscreen Gold Award and continues to inspire fan letters from all over the world!
It truly warms my heart, and it has also given me the freedom to explore new creative paths. I’m deeply grateful.
