Getting Creative With Mickey’s Magical Arts World @Imagicademy #DisneyImagicademy #CG #CleverGirls

To me Disney signifies creativity, imagination and magic.  Leave it to Disney to create an app that inspires kids and parents and teaches them that curiosity is something magical. Disney Imagicademy features two great apps for kids.

Mickey’s Magical Arts World is not just a drawing app, which is what I thought of right away.  The animation of it alone makes it hard not to want to explore the app.  It is an app that features all sorts of creative fun, from drawing to music to dress-up.  There is a little of everything in the app that I would dare any child not to find something they like in it.  I admit I played with the app longer that I expected to!

First off I will say the app does have in-app purchases which it is hard to not buy. Basically all the really features in the app are locked and you need to purchase them in bundles of either $4.99 each or $19.99 for the bundle.  There are five worlds so to speak in the game, each with their own in-app purchases.  My kids all love this app and I will say the in-app purchases are worth it.  For example in the one part of the game where you are designing houses, a lot of the decorations are locked and of course my kids had to have them.

I would definitely say though to have your child try out the app and see what they like. Maybe they only like one of the worlds so you can just pay the $4.99 in-app price or if they like them all then save some money and buy the bundle.  It’s funny after watching my three kids play this game they all have a different favorite world.  My oldest son is 8 years old and he loves the Drawing world and creating with various colors and writing instruments.  My middle son is 6 and loves the Costume and Movies world and creating various characters with silly outfits and such.  Finally my 3 year old loves the Design world and decorating the buildings.  I don’t think they have even explored the whole app yet and they have yet to get bored of it, I actually have to tell them to put the tablet down when they are playing this app!

Oh and if you are looking for some extra magic to share with your kids, the Disney Imagicademy Parents is another free app from Disney that is jam-packed with magic! It features tips to help engage your kids and even help with boredom!  I like browsing the app for ideas and see what is new for the day.  There is a little of everything in the app and it constantly surprised me.
