It begins with a blank page.
The rest belongs to them.
Children understand colouring without a tutorial. Pick something wonderful. Try a colour. Change your mind. Add far too much glitter. Save it for later.
The app keeps that lovely simplicity, then adds the useful bits digital can do well.

The best bit is showing you later.
A half-finished picture can wait. A favourite can be saved. When children return, the book feels like a growing collection they made themselves.

“If I would not be proud to put it in front of Eden, it was not ready for anyone else's child.”
A dad. A daughter. A very high bar.
Made for one child first.
Then made ready for yours.
There is a particular kind of attention you bring to something when your own child is the first person who will use it. You notice the rough edges. You keep working after the feature technically works. You ask whether it feels good in a small hand.
That is where Made By Dad began, and it is still the standard.
