Screens, whether a mobile phone or a TV, easily grab a child’s attention and the worst part is that these devices gradually take away children’s creativity. However, there are still some tools that help kids bring out their imagination and creativity. And Brush Ninja is one such website that allows kids to experiment with animation in a fun way.

As you open the site, you will see the main menu at the top of the homepage. You can either select your favourite section from the drop-down list or choose from the big boxes of the same sections laid out clearly on the homepage. These sections include Paint Ninja, Emoji Art, Animate Your Drawing, Comic Maker, Make Photo Collage, Make Art with Code and many more.

If you click “Animate a drawing,” the screen changes into a drawing space. In the middle, there is a white canvas. That’s where you draw. On one side, you’ll see basic drawing tools like a brush, eraser, colour picker and line thickness options. You will feel like it is a digital colouring book.

Under the canvas, you will see a row of small boxes. These are your frames. Here you can draw in the first frame, add a new frame and change the drawing slightly. When you press play, it moves. This is the most interesting part for kids.

Once you’re done, you can export it as a GIF. And download directly to your device. Moreover, you can explore the tutorial links to learn more about animation and drawing techniques.

Brush Ninja is not meant for professional animation. It’s all about fun, small experiments and understanding how movement works. For kids who just want to draw a bouncing ball, stick figure moving or a quick cartoon or comic strip, they can use this site as their stepping stone in the field of animation.

So what are you waiting for? Have fun creating art and experimenting at http://brush.ninja
