Seven Registration-Free Drawing Tools for Students

Drawing tools that do not require students to register in order to create and download drawings.

1. Sketch Toy. Students do not have to register to use Sketch Toy and they can download all of their drawings to use in other projects.  
2. Aww App is a super simple browser-based application for creating drawings. To get started just go to AwwApp.com and click on "start drawing."
3. ABCya Animate is a fun tool from ABCya (disclosure, an advertiser here). ABCya Animate allows students to create animated GIFs containing up to 100 frames
4. Sketchpad is a free, feature-rich, online drawing tablet that offers users the ability to quickly create drawings.
5. Art Pad and Sketch Pad (different from the Sketch Pad above) are both blank slate drawing utilities. Art Pad and Sketch Pad allow users to select from a variety of drawing tools and painting tools.
6. Crayola's online drawing canvas provides students with a blank canvas on which they can draw using virtual markers, crayons, pencils, and paints. Drawings cannot be saved online, but they can be printed. 
7. Bomomo Users select a drawing utility then the Bomomo program begins randomly drawing. Users can determine where the drawing starts with their computer's mouse. Users can also select general shapes and patterns to be drawn.
