Colorific is a great coloring app for kids. It includes over 40 templates where they can fill in the colors. There are also blank pages where children can create whatever pictures they like. Template categories are numbers, animals and birds, transport, professions, and dinosaurs.

Children will love Colorific for being easy to use but satisfying in the way it lets them paint and color. Pleasant music plays in the background while they "work." Pictures can be easily shared on email and Facebook.

This app improves fine motor skills, with purposeful touch and the option between painting and coloring. Painting fills in a particular section of the picture while coloring allows the child to have more control, as if they were using a real crayon. Colorific also helps children with color recognition and creative play.

Colorific is available on iPad for $2.99.
