‘Oekaki Hime’ April 2026 Issue Ignites Young Imaginations with Digital Drawing Pad
Released on February 28, 2026, the ‘Oekaki Hime April (Spring) 2026’ issue from Gakken offers a captivating experience for children aged three and up. This quarterly magazine, celebrated for its engaging mix of drawing, coloring, mazes, spot-the-difference games, origami, and crafts, continues its tradition of delivering joyful content centered around beloved characters and princesses. The highlight of this spring edition is its luxurious special supplement: a digital drawing pad.

The Magic of the Digital Drawing Pad
This innovative digital drawing pad comes with a dedicated stylus, enabling children to create stunning gradient-colored lines and letters with ease. What makes it truly magical is its reusability; a simple press of a button instantly clears the screen, allowing for endless drawing sessions. For those masterpieces worth keeping, a lock switch on the back preserves the artwork. Adding to the fun, a buildable stand, included as a bound-in supplement, allows children to display their creations or prop up the pad for comfortable use.


A Treasure Trove of Character-Themed Fun
The ‘Oekaki Hime’ issue doesn’t stop at the digital pad. It’s packed with an array of other exciting paper supplements. These include a “Sumikkogurashi Mini Memo Book,” “Anime Chiikawa Omamori Memo,” charming “Dress Memos,” and “Envelope-style Letter Memos,” all featuring unique designs exclusive to the magazine. A generous collection of stickers further enhances play, offering dress-up activities and decorative options for the digital drawing pad stand.

Engaging Activities with Beloved Characters
Beyond the physical supplements, the magazine pages are brimming with character-rich content. Children can dive into dress-up games with Licca-chan, enjoy sticker play with Disney Princesses, and solve Sanrio Characters picnic spot-the-difference puzzles. Anime Chiikawa offers a spring maze festival, while the “Stylish Drawing Lesson” guides young artists in sketching beautiful princesses. These activities promise hours of immersive fun.

“Parents and children alike will appreciate the blend of digital innovation with classic paper crafts,” notes one enthusiast, “making this a truly versatile playtime companion.”
