Try Creating and Illustrating a Color Poem Movie on your Ipad!
This color poem was created on my ipad using a free app - My Story: Bookmaker for Kids. You can create pages by drawing, adding text, and saving your ages as a book that is available in your iBook. You can also make a movie by recording yourself reading your book and saving as a movie which appears in your photo video library. I then went to iMovie and added an audio background theme and saved it as a movie.
