5.0 out of 5 stars I say 9 stars *********! Age 3 to adult will LOVE this!, October 2, 2002

***** 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?)!

My son's second grade class uses Kid Pics and successfully completed a drawing of a bat on a tree limb with "Bat Facts" typed along side of the picture. The software is both kid and teacher friendly and is an asset to our computer room in school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kid Pix Deluxe-Great Educational Tool, April 30, 2002

My child's school uses this software and he spoke of it all the time so I purchased a copy for home use. It is a great teaching tool to allow children to become familiar with the computer, mouse control, keyboard familiarization, various menus like File, Edit, View and how to open files. And best of all no matter what your child clicks on, they don't receive any error notices because this software is very forgiving. It allows children to be creative while becoming comfortable with computers and their operation.
