Today we learned that Drawing Pad is a Winner of a Parents’ Choice Gold Award. This is a very important accolade as according to the Parents' Choice Foundation "Established in 1978, Parents’ Choice Foundation is the nation’s oldest nonprofit consumer guide to quality children’s media. As a Parents’ Choice Award winner, you’re a member of a very select group. Fewer than 15% of the products submitted to the Parents’ Choice Awards program receive any level of commendation. It’s an honor that doesn’t come easily; you should be very proud of your achievement."

Drawing Pad is a wonderful casual drawing app. Check out these amazing samples drawn with Drawing Pad:

We love VIRAL videos! Especially when it includes a cute two year old and our Drawing App! Our original goal was to make the app easy enough for a 2 year old to use but fun enough for all ages! In fact, this five star review was just posted on iTunes by daphnepurpus "Fantastic! - ★★★★★ This is a wonderful fun application! It is very easy to use and has a lot of creative options. I am 65 years old and I'm having a lot of fun using this and plan to write haiga with it as my skills improve. The program does all it says it will, and it is very simple to figure out but also has a depth within that satisfies my artistic efforts. Many thanks to the creators of this wonderful program."

There are some fun and creative examples on Twitter and Flickr for stuff created with the Drawing Pad app. Check out this monster attacking the city!

I'm a big fan of David Spade so when I saw he was performing while I was in Las Vegas for CES, I got on the phone and grabbed the last two VIP tickets...and later that day, with iPad still in hand, got a great signature in virtual crayons via the Drawing Pad App!

We like to think Drawing Pad is fantastic...but don't take our word for it....take a look at page 110 in the book "Best iPad Apps - The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders."  O'Reilly Media is a huge publisher and we are a huge fan of their work. Author Peter Meyers stress-tested thousands of Apps to put together this 240 page guide.

Meyers describes Drawing Pad as "delightfully usable" and a "creativity-encouraging vortex" The iPad is a beautiful, and yes, a magical tablet with all the included apps; Mail, Web, Video, Calendar, Contacts... but the device becomes even better when you personalize it with fun Apps. Buy the book here and be sure to check out page 110 where they feature Drawing Pad as the "Best App for Drawing Time for Kids!"

Drawing Pad is the cheapest gift* on Gizmodo's Gift Guide for Kids! (*unless you don't already have an iPad) :-\
