Yes there are excellent apps for monitoring children if you have an IP camera (or PC with a webcam, but the PC has to be on 24 hours). Works just great. Available for iphone and ipad.
the sketchpad by adobe is a little difficult but with some practice is a very fun free app. I wish there was an in-between, because it is challenging to change colors and brushes for kids... somewhere halfway between it and a really simple sketch thing.
