The app is a digital representation of the felt boards many of us grew up playing with. While some might argue the added worth of the more traditional version in terms of appealing to learning styles, this app can be put to a lot of uses in the ELT classroom.
Take a series of photos and the students are half way to creating a story book. However, aside from the obvious digital story telling use, the range of things covered in the different menus makes it ideal for use in and out of vocabulary lessons.
Teaching clothes, you can shout of the colour and type and the students can respond by choosing from the menus. 21st century TPR! This would work both class wide use or one Ipad in the room. Going beyond words, it can be assist with teaching prepositions (the dog is on the left has a red hat on its head). Having a couple of devices immediately opens up a whole world of describe and draw activities. And of course should the studetns have the apps themsevles then lot so homework potential as well. Enjoy. 
The app is very easy to use, which makes it ideal for even the youngest hands. A series of menus allows you to choose everything from letters through to items of clothing. After that you use typical Ipad gestures to move and resize. If you want two items to stay together you simply ‘glue’ them. Once you have constructed your masterpiece you can take a photo.
