Kid Pix Studio Deluxe (Jewel Case)

Rating:
Summary: Outdated software
Review: This runs in a 16 bit emulation mode which means that you cannot toggle back and forth between this and other programs. It was designed for the days of DOS and Windows 3.1 and forces me to close and reopen some programs running in the background after quitting this program. That said, it's okay software. It's basically MS Paint with a few bells and whistles aimed at children. I would not reccomend it for any child who has not mastered pointing and clicking with a mouse. It was a little too advanced for my 3 year old although she enjoyed trying. I'm going to keep looking.

Summary: I say 9 stars *********! Age 3 to adult will LOVE this!
Review: ~
***** Kid Pix is definitely the number one Software item on any list for kids age 3-13. I rank it high on the shopping list for Adults, too! This software is incredibly flexible and allows for artistic creativity, while still providing enough structure, for very young kids.
~
***** The Software is very very easy to use. Emma and Ben were absolutely professional at this program at age 3. In fact Emma had to warn me when I wasn't saving a picture correctly.
The program allows for freestyle drawing, but also has so many additional touches that make it exciting to the kids. Naturally, the first thing they go for is the "stamps"- little pre-designed artworks of objects commonly used in pictures: teddy bear, cake, etc.
~
***** The flexibility of this software makes it astonishingly easy to personalize and expand on: at age 4, Amanda was "editing" the "stamp" of the teddy bear to make it look more like *her* "sugar bear".
~
***** This program only gets better, if you add more software from the same company- we got "The Amazing Writing Machine" and were able to import all of the stamps from that program into the studio.
~
***** You can also open any photograph in a JPEG or GIF or BMP format, and spice it up with the Kid Pix Studio.
~
*****If I could only have one piece of software on my computer- it would be a difficult choice between my Netscape browser, and this Kid Pix Studio.
If this review form allowed it, I'd give it 9 stars *********- (do you get the idea I think its Great?)!
