Jumpstart Sketchbook

Jumpstart Sketchbook acts as a follow-up title to Jumpstart Artist. It covers various art-related topics for ages 5-8, such as drawing, color theory, crafting, recycling, and other art principles.
CJ serves as the main character of the game. He is looking to participate in Kisha's art show, and is in need of your assistance. He also promises to assist you in learning how to make your own masterpiece as you help him and the rest of his friends with their entries.
== Characters ==
* CJ (main)
* Edison
* Eleanor
* Hopsalot
* Casey
* Kisha
* Pierre
* Frankie
== Portfolio ==
All of the player's saved creations can be viewed and printed out here. Each section has up to six save slots, except for the Task List and Ribbon Case. The Task List displays everything the player needs to do and the characters that need help in order for the art show to begin. The player must also choose at least one of their saved works to enter into the art show.
== Drawing Tutorials ==
Each time the player completes any activity or lesson, they are rewarded with one of CJ's crayons, each representing a color of the rainbow. When the player collects all seven crayons, they can unlock one new drawing tutorial. 
Drawing tutorials can be viewed in two modes: Trace It! and Show Me! When viewing a tutorial in Show Me! mode, Edison appears on screen and guides the player through each step.
== Activities ==
=== Lessons ===
*Edison's Follow-Along Sketchbook - This is where players are able to access drawing tutorials as they progress. There is also an option to print out these tutorials.
* Dry-Erase Board - All of the lessons and minigames can be accessed from the dry-erase board. Covered topics include color theory, essential art terms, perspective, and other drawing techniques.
=== Task List Activities ===
* My Art Studio - This is where the player can create their own original artwork to save and display in the art show, and it functions much like Your Personal Art Studio and Gallery in Jumpstart Artist.
* Kisha's Decoration Creations - The first time the player accesses this activity, their task is to help Kisha make a collage invitation with certain conditions. They can place stickers and use a variety of novelty art tools to make it one-of-a-kind. They can also make banners, frames, and other decorations to customize the art show, all of which can be saved in the player's portfolio.
* Eleanor's Storybook Corner - The first time the player accesses this activity, their task is to help Eleanor enter a specific storybook into the art show by creating illustrations for each of the pages. After this task is completed, the player can select a storybook (from one of seven choices) to create for themselves and save in their portfolio.
* Hopsalot's Diorama Station - The first time the player accesses this activity, their task is to help Hopsalot complete a diorama for entry in the art show. There are six different scenes to create, all of which can be saved in the player's portfolio. To make the crafts needed to complete a scene, CJ and the player must venture out into the nearby recycling plant, gather the required materials, and bring them back to the worktable. Once they have done so, the player must follow the instructions on-screen and use the scissors, tape, and glue on the right toolbar as necessary.
* Colorful Playground Race - The player must help CJ race against either Casey, Pierre, or Frankie to the finish by navigating through a board game-esque map. When a color is selected or created, the characters will move to the closest square that matches the color. There are ten different maps to choose from, and obstacles will start to appear from the fourth layout onward. Ladders will move a character forward to a designated space, while slides send them backward. Each time they win, they earn one ribbon (there are 10 in total) as well as one of the seven crayons. Note that at least one ribbon is required for the art show to begin. Beating Casey in all ten maps will allow the player to access them again in Master Mode (this can be turned on and off), which is a combination of all three skill levels.
=== Miscellaneous Activities ===
* Color Drop - Various-colored droplets will fall from the top of the screen as the player moves the bucket with their mouse to try and catch them. Their goal is to match the color indicated on the icon near the timer by collecting the colored drops needed to create that color.
* Predict the Picture - The player's goal is to guess the picture that CJ is drawing as fast as possible. If they guess incorrectly or do not guess before he finishes, the point will not be scored.
* Look and Feel - The player's goal is to try and guess the art utensil that CJ is drawing with based on the appearance of the lines he draws.
* Maze Challenge - Here, the player must use their mouse to navigate through a maze without hitting the sides. This activity becomes more difficult as the player progresses. Unlike the others, this misc. activity is NOT timed.
* Jukebox - This is where the player can listen to original songs that relate to the art concepts taught in the game.
== Art Show ==
Once the player has finished everything on their Task List in their portfolio, the art show can begin! All of the artwork is displayed in the park's pavilion, and clicking on each of the entries will allow them to view it in detail.
When ready, the player can choose a ribbon to put on their favorite entry. Doing so will play an ending cutscene and song, trigger the credit roll (this can be skipped), and the player will be redirected to the sign-in screen once it concludes.
The next time the player signs in, they can now access the art show at any time by clicking on the pavilion in the park, where the Diorama Station and Colorful Playground Race are also located. The entries, decor, and ribbon can now be changed using the portfolio.
== Toolbar ==
In this game, the toolbar is represented by a strip of notebook paper at the bottom of the screen with doodle-esque icons. These are the functions, from left to right:
* Go Back/Exit - This allows you to leave an activity and return to a prior location. If you are already at a main screen overlooking the activities in one of three locations, this button allows you to quit the game.
* Help - Clicking here will give you a hint about how to play.
* Change Skill Level - This allows you to adjust the difficulty of an activity. The miscellaneous activities and Colorful Playground Race make use of this icon.
* Portfolio - This icon will redirect the player to their portfolio.
* Crayon Palette - This icon displays how close the player is to unlocking a drawing tutorial. Every crayon they collect will light up, and unlocking a tutorial will reset this icon.
