GulluA Tap to Fill Coloring App for Little Kids
Short answer: Tap to fill is the simplest way to color on a screen. A child picks a color, taps an area and it fills. You can try it free in a browser on five Gullu pages, and the app adds a magic brush, crayons, glitter and more than 1,000 pages.

The five pictures above are tap to fill, running in your browser. Pick one, choose a color and tap. There is nothing to download and no sign-up.
What is tap to fill?
Tap to fill, sometimes called tap to color, fills one enclosed area of a picture with the chosen color when a child taps it. There is no dragging and no need to stay inside a line, because the app does that part.
Who is tap to fill for?
- The youngest children. A three-year-old who cannot yet steer a crayon can still finish a picture.
- Small screens. On a phone, tapping a small area is easier than coloring it.
- Small spaces. Eyes, buttons and stripes fill cleanly.
- A calm start. Some children who avoid crayons enjoy seeing an area change color at a tap.
It is a different activity from coloring with strokes. It does not practice crayon control, which is why Gullu has both.

A parent can turn on Simple mode for a child's profile, which leaves only tap to fill and the magic brush. The page for 3 year olds shows how. If you are looking for the opposite, an app with real strokes and no numbers, see where you actually color.
