Last November, we loved Night Zookeeper Drawing Torch, an iPad drawing app for kids that got them to complete missions, all themed around a zoo of magical animals.

Now it’s got a follow-up, again for iPad, called Night Zookeeper Teleporting Torch. And it looks even more fun.

The basic idea remains the same: “Draw pictures and write stories about magical animals… Enter a world of Spying Giraffes, Time Travelling Elephants and scary Fear Monsters,” explains its App Store listing.

“On your journey you will take on creative drawing missions to protect the zoo from monsters and care for thousands of magical animals. Can you turn one of your friends or family into a strange animal? Could you paint the ocean, if a monster has stolen the colour blue?”

Kids will get new missions every day (“like a never-ending activity book”), with the idea being that giving them an idea about what to draw will stimulate their creativity more than a blank screen would. The team behind Night Zookeeper started out running workshops in schools, so they know their onions on this score.

Here’s what we like most, though: all your child’s drawings are saved (or ‘teleported’) to what the developers describe as a “private online dashboard” for safekeeping. Meanwhile, parents can join in the fun too, by sending their children missions from the online dashboard.

We’re going to be getting hands on with the app this week for a full review, but you can try it now on the App Store. Night Zookeeper Teleporting Torch costs £1.99 and is iPad-only.
