DISCOVERCreate a creative kids app
Creative kids app: your craft workshops on video, for subscribing families
Modeling clay, painting, paper cutting: children follow your workshops step by step, and a parent takes out the subscription in the app, through their store account.
For the creative workshop leader or the crafts creator who films their activities: an iPhone and Android app you put together yourself, without code, with video workshops sorted by age, printable templates for parents and the Apps for Kids declaration.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Workshops sorted by age and by length
Ten minutes before snack time or a whole rainy afternoon
Sort your videos by recommended age, length and the materials they need: parents spot at a glance the activity that fits the time they have. Sections by season and by holiday, from Mother's Day cards to winter decorations, bring families back all year round.
The craft workshop, filmed one gesture at a time
The materials list first, then every step at a child's level
Each workshop opens with what to take out of the cupboard: cardboard tubes, glue, poster paint, round-tip scissors. Then come the steps, filmed up close, which the child pauses while cutting or waiting for the paint to dry. A few trial workshops stay open to all; the rest of the library belongs to subscribing families.
Printable templates, for parents
A PDF attached to the workshop, hidden until the family subscribes
Attach to each workshop the cut-out template, the coloring page or the folding sheet as a PDF: the parent prints it before sitting down with the child. In a locked workshop, the file stays invisible to a visitor without a subscription, who only sees the activity's introduction.
An app parents can hand over
Declared under Apps for Kids, it follows the stores' rules for children
One box to tick: once the app is declared under Apps for Kids, GoodBarber turns off what Apple's Kids category and Google's Families program forbid, such as behavioral advertising, some third-party analytics tools and unneeded permissions. The build sent to the stores meets those rules from compilation onward.

Creative kids app: questions from creators
What does the Apps for Kids declaration change?
It puts the app within the framework the stores set for children's apps: GoodBarber then removes behavioral advertising, some third-party analytics tools and permissions that are not needed. You don't have to know the list of rules.
Who pays for the subscription, the parent or the child?
The subscription is billed to the store account the device uses. When a child has their own account in a family group, their purchases usually need a parent's approval, depending on Apple's and Google's family settings.
Can I sell craft kits?
Not through the subscription, which covers the videos and templates only. Kits and supplies are physical goods: they sell in a GoodBarber eCommerce app, separate from this one.
Can my in-person workshops be booked in the app?
In-person workshops are paid for outside the app. If you mainly run a holiday club, with a vacation program and sign-ups, the app for children's leisure activities is built for that.
How many workshops should I publish before selling?
At least ten must be locked. Subscribing families get them as soon as Apple and Google have approved the app, or the update that contains them.
What budget for a craft workshop app?
Subscribing families need the store apps: Premium with the subscription option, or Pro, which integrates it. The Apps for Kids declaration costs nothing.
Extension Store
The building blocks of a craft workshop app: videos, articles with PDF templates, push, bookmarks, App Walkthrough, and Memberships, optional on Premium and built into Pro. The Apps for Kids declaration is free.
What a creative kids app costs
Selling a subscription requires the iOS and Android apps, so Premium at least, with Memberships on top; the Pro plan includes it. Videos, push notifications and the Apps for Kids declaration come with the plan.
| Premium · iOS, Android, web app | $55 /month, billed yearly |
| Memberships on top | $49 /month |
| Pro · Memberships included | $105 /month, billed yearly |
Your developer accounts stay at your expense, paid to Apple and to Google.
