Multi-purpose digital coloring tools for interacting with a touch screen are described. A pattern-making device provides for patterned input from a digital marking tool on a touch-screen device. The pattern-making device guides the digital marking tool with a plurality of gear teeth on an internal edge of a template frame secured to a touch-screen device using a base unit. Light images are created by a light stylus that interacts with a touch-screen device or an emulsion-surface device. An easel support structure holds a touch-screen device in an upright position during marking with the digital marking tool. Digitally animated coloring book pages are adapted to interact with a touch-screen device. Digital crayons, digital stamping devices, a digital paintbrush, a dual-tip digital stylus for creating 3-dimensional (3-D) images, and a pair of 3-D glasses are provided for interacting with a touch-screen device.
