Lantern: Kids Coloring Book
No ads. Just color & play.
Free to download, with no ads and nothing to buy, ever. Lantern is a coloring app made for kids: no accounts, no data collected, and it works offline.
What your child can do
Glitter, neon and crayon colors
More than 70 colors: classic shades, sparkling glitter, glowing neon, star and heart patterns, moving rainbows and crayon. A tap fills a whole area, so little fingers get neat results, with a playful sound for every kind of color.
Pictures that come to life
Confetti celebrates every finished picture, and 18 pictures come to life: a dolphin with a ball, a dancing lion, a blinking owl, a helicopter, birthday candles that flicker.
A drawing studio and stickers
Nine brushes, from pencil and crayon to spray, glitter, neon, rainbow and stamps. Kids can trace over a faded picture, then watch their drawing replay like a movie, and decorate any picture with stickers they can drag, resize and turn.
80 pictures in 8 themes
Animals, Nature, Vietnam, Dinosaurs, Under the sea, Space, Vehicles and Yummy food — from a T-rex to star lanterns and a lion dance. A new Picture of the day suggests something to color every day.
Plays offline. No tracking SDKs.
No internet needed, so it is ready in the car or on a plane. Artwork is saved automatically on the device, and a simple mode with 8 big colors and fewer buttons suits the youngest artists.
For parents
Lantern is made for the App Store's Kids category, in the 6–8 age band, and follows Apple's rules for kids apps. Simple mode makes it easy for younger children too.
- No ads and no in-app purchases — the app is free, with nothing to buy.
- No data collected: no accounts, no analytics, no third-party tracking SDKs. Pictures are saved on the device and never sent to us. If a grown-up shares one, it goes only to the app they choose.
- Works without the internet. On Android the app doesn't even have permission to go online.
- Sharing a picture and the grown-up settings are behind a parental gate; deleting a drawing always asks first.
- In English and Vietnamese.
