5.0 out of 5 stars Better than KidPix, December 27, 2008

By 

atticgirl (Idaho) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crayola Art Studio (CD-ROM)

We bought this for our daughter for Christmas as a replacement for her KidPix which no longer worked on our home computer (Vista, enough said.). This program has so many more options and appears more updated than KidPix. It's the same idea but seems like it has more choices. You can choose between crayons, markers, paints, etc. There are hundreds of art images and you can be as basic or advanced as you want to be. I even enjoy playing with it. My daughter is just starting to learn the many things this program can do but she has already spent more time with Crayola Art Studio than she did the entire time she had KidPix. It is a great program with a lot of potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent graphics program for children. Much better than KidPix., February 26, 2009

This program is fun! Much better than KidPix in every way.

Large set of options for each of the 12 tools will keep kids (and grownups) occupied for hours. The 1,000 templates are contemporary. The stamp art is plenty of fun all by itself.

A simplified screen makes it suitable for really young kids, say about three, if you feel brave enough to let them near a computer.

Overall, this is an extremely well designed program that is much more than a "toy". It is a real paint program, with a really well done user interface that makes it easy for kids to dig in, be creative and have fun.

Crayola and Core are to be congratulated on their sensible licensing: you may install this on any number of computers as long as it is used on no more than one at a time.

For the price, you simply can't beat Crayola Art Studio. It is great fun and very versatile.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun, February 24, 2009

By 

Motherof 6 (Gainesville, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Crayola Art Studio (CD-ROM)

My children and I have enjoyed this greatly. Would highly recommend this to anyone. There are various art tools that look very realistic. The colors blend together just as they would if you were using real art tools. There is a simplier screen that can be selected for younger ones that has fewer tools for them to use. If you have any coloring pages from off the internet, you can also cut and paste them in for the children to color. It is simple to use like Paintbrush on Windows yet a lot better.
