Scratchy Kids

Scratch art reimagined for kids: bright surprises under every stroke, shape/text/maze/road masks, iCloud sync — and now up to 4 devices can share one paper, live.

Scratchy Kids turns the magic of scratch art into a playful, touch-first experience on iPhone and iPad — and now, with version 1.1, the same scratch paper can be shared across multiple devices in real time.

Scratch away the dark top layer with a finger or Apple Pencil and instantly reveal bright colors underneath. Every stroke feels direct, satisfying, and easy to understand, so children can jump in right away and start making something delightful.

NEW in 1.1 — Draw Together Up to four iPhones or iPads in the same room, or on the same Wi-Fi, can share one scratch paper at the same time. One tap to host, one tap to join from the lobby — no accounts, no setup, no settings to fight with. It just works for siblings, friends, road trips, and rainy afternoons.

Also new in 1.1

• Lucky Number background: a hidden number waits under each scratch — a tiny "what will I get?" surprise, and a quiet way for little learners to keep meeting their numbers.
• Repair brush: paint the dark layer back over mistakes, so a slip of the finger no longer means starting over.
• Surprise Paper: one tap starts a ready-to-play scratch paper, so children can begin before choosing settings.
