Abstract :
Storytelling is an essential activity in the life of children. By listening or sharing their stories and ideas they give meaning to their world and practice their communication skills. Even though today computers are already present in a child´s world, there is a difference between software programs developed for them and specific programs that allow them to express themselves. This paper presents the Reactoon System: an authoring tool for building 2D animations for a tabletop with tangible user interface and multi-touch screen.
