The new Roblox game kids (and parents!) love

There’s a new game that encourages your child to get creative. And YOU can get involved too!
There’s no denying that screen time is a hot topic amongst parents. But did you know that experts say not all screen time is ‘equal’ and that actually the whole notion of screen ‘time’ is outdated?
It can be easy to fall into the trap of setting strict screen time limits with our children but child online safety expert Jessica Chalmers says it’s much more useful to consider what your child is doing on the screen than how long they spend on there.
'In a typical day, your child might play a game, then do some homework, they then might watch a bit of TV, they might speak to granny on a video call,' she says.
'They then might read their Kindle, they're learning the piano but they're using an app to do that, and then it's family time they're going to watch a film.
'That's a lot of screen time. But actually there's pockets of wonderful quality screen time there.’
So with that in mind, we're on a mission to seek out good quality online activities for our children to try – and if WE can get involved too, then even better!
That’s why we love BIC DrawPlanet: Go Make WOW on Roblox. It’s a super creative way to spend some time online with your child.
What is BIC DrawPlanet?
BIC DrawPlanet: Go Make WOW is a fresh, imaginative space where your child’s creativity can be unlocked and nurtured.
The magic begins when the player starts drawing; their creations come to life, moving and interacting within their personal realms. It's a game that transforms imagination into virtual reality, letting players populate their worlds with their own designs and ideas.
Sounds amazing, right?
How does it work?
You explore DrawPlanet as your Roblox avatar, drawing and creating artwork with a palette of tools to populate realms like Enchanted Forest, the busy WOW City and the chilled out Cloud Kingdom.
As you create masterpieces, you can earn ArtCoins which can unlock items, colours, effects and more realms. There are free in-game UGC (aka Roblox wearable items) and there are also extra ‘side quests’ to play too.
It's a brilliant blend of creativity and gameplay, designed to captivate and educate at the same time.
Benefits for kids
For children aged 6-12, BIC DrawPlanet is more than just fun; it's a developmental tool that nurtures creativity, problem-solving skills, and understanding of the world. As they journey through different realms, they're introduced to concepts like climate, weather, and geography, making learning an integral part of the game.
The game's focus on drawing and creativity also provides a platform for self-expression, helping children develop their artistic skills in a fun, engaging environment. Plus, they can play it alone if they want to, or you can play with them and turn it into a shared family activity.
What else do parents need to know?
You need to set up a Roblox account to play BIC DrawPlanet, if you don’t already have one. It’s free to set up an account and Roblox has lots of safety features to keep your child safe.
Once you’re logged onto Roblox, setting up BIC DrawPlanet is super easy – just search for it and jump on in.
BIC DrawPlanet: Go Make WOW offers an exciting mix of creativity, education, and fun, all wrapped up in a colourful, engaging package on Roblox.
It's a game that encourages kids to dream big, draw boldly, and explore the limitless possibilities of their imagination, making it a must-try for families this year. Try it out today!
