Nomad Brush Introduces the First Paintbrush Stylus Designed Just for Kids

PORTLAND, Ore. – Nov. 21, 2011 – Today’s tech-savvy and on-the-go families are always on the lookout for tools that encourage creativity, learning, and self-expression. Today, Nomad Brush introduces the latest product in its series of critically acclaimed products: The Nomad Play™, the first paintbrush stylus designed and scaled just for kids.

Not Your Parents’ Stylus 

The Nomad Play™ is handcrafted from maple, with a soft, rubber ferrule that won’t scratch the screen, and a contoured grip for little hands for easy art creation. It comes in four unique designs and colors engraved with playful graphics inspired by — and for — kids ages 3 to 8 who love to create: Astro (blue), Serengeti (yellow), Fireball (red), and Ivy (green). The Nomad Play™ is available today for $18 at www.nomadbrush.com.

“Our family loves art and creating art together,” said Don Lee, founder and CEO of Nomad Brush. “When I received a first generation iPad for Father’s Day, I found it to be a great digital sketchbook, and the idea for Nomad Brush was born. We were amazed to discover how quickly our two young sons connected to the experience of digital art creation; since then, we’ve witnessed kids from across the country embrace their parents’ Nomad Brushes.

We are thrilled to introduce Nomad Play™ just in time for the holiday season— and to help make art, and the power of self-expression, even more accessible to a younger generation of artists.”

For the Next Matisse Without the Mess and the Next Picasso On-The-Go

The Nomad Play™ also brings other benefits to budding artists and their parents: eco-friendly art and mess-less art creation: no spilled paint, no wasted paper, and no messy hands to clean up afterwards.

The Nomad Play™ collection has been pre-tested by a panel of young artists and their parents — "The Play Patrol" — who share their passion for the product:

·       "I am an artist that makes dinosaurs!" - Beau, age 3 (Portland, Ore.)

·       "I like how easy it is to control the brush and that you can go do art in different places with it. I want one in every color!" - Piper, age 8 (Pasadena, Calif.)

·       "Our kids love the feel and weight of the Nomad Play, and the way it glides on the screen when they paint. And I love that there’s no mess to worry about, and no clean-up afterwards!” - Arpie, mom of Keira, age 7, and Calvin, age 3 (Chicago)

The Nomad Play™ works on the iPad, iPhone, Android and all capacitive touchscreen devices, with any digital art app, including these free apps for kids: Kids Doodle, Kids Paint HD, iDoodle 2 Lite, Doodle Buddy, Crayon Kids Painting, Coloring for Kids and more. Nomad Play™ offers a distinctly unique set of designs and features:

·       Handcrafted maple brush, customized to fit the growing grip of kids ages 3 to 8

·       Soft, durable bristles, with a ferrule that won’t scratch the screen

·       Old-world craftsmanship married with modern technology

·       Eco-friendly and mess-less: no spilled paint, wasted paper or messy hands
