Paint Pad
Brushes, stamps and a symmetry mirror
About Paint Pad
An open drawing studio with pressure-ish brushes, a fill tool, stamps, undo and a kaleidoscope mode that mirrors every stroke.
Ankhdase tracks 3 distinct skills in Paint Pad, including Drawing & composition, Color mixing and Symmetry. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
How to play
- Pick a color and draw with the mouse, a finger or a stylus.
- The mirror buttons repeat every stroke, which makes symmetrical patterns.
- The fill tool floods an area, and stamps drop a picture wherever you tap.
Skills Paint Pad practices
- Drawing & composition
- Color mixing
- Symmetry
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
Questions about Paint Pad
- Is Paint Pad free to play?
- Yes. Paint Pad is free, runs in any modern browser, and needs no download or plugin. You can play straight away without an account; signing in is only needed if you want progress, streaks and badges saved.
- What age is Paint Pad for?
- Paint Pad suits ages 4–adult — roughly Pre-K to Adult. The difficulty adapts as you play, so it stays useful across that whole range rather than being pitched at one year group.
- What does Paint Pad teach?
- It practices Drawing & composition, Color mixing and Symmetry. Every question is tagged with the skill it exercises, so progress is tracked skill by skill rather than as one overall score.
- Does Paint Pad work on a tablet or phone?
- Yes. Paint Pad works with touch as well as a mouse, and every drag action has a tap-to-select alternative. Once the page has loaded once it also keeps working offline.
- Can teachers assign Paint Pad?
- Yes. Teachers can create a class, add students in bulk without email addresses, and set Paint Pad as an assignment with a goal — a score, a number of minutes, stars or a typing speed. Progress updates automatically as students play.
