4.0 out of 5 stars 2nd graders love kid pix 3, July 24, 2001

We have been using Kid Pix Studio Deluxe in our school for over 3 years. I bought this new version to try out with my class and they thought it was great. They all wanted to try out the new features, which they thought enhanced the program even more. I will definitely use this use version with my class in the fall. I use it to get my students interested in learning computer skills and to have fun at the same time. I gave it a four because I had to really spend time learning the new setup ,because it is so different. One big plus,I don't have to set the video settings at 256 colors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most amazing drawing program ever created., February 15, 2001

By 

Ed Ackerman (Montreal) - See all my reviews

(Excerpt from a letter that I wrote directly to the product manager of Kid Pix.) ...."This is the most amazing drawing program that has ever been created. You have done a great job! You have taken advantage of every computer advancement of the past 12 years and have put it in the hands of children! Good show! You have combined game, television, art, science, math, education, music with passive/active entertainment. Kid Pix shows off what computers can do at their best. It teaches how to use a modern computer, without words! It is fast and it is stable. Very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son couldn't stop talking about this!, October 2, 2003

My 6-yr-old son mentioned Kid Pix every day for about a week after using it at school. I had seen this software many times but just thought it was another one of those coloring book kind of things that just about every kid web site has - for free. So I broke down and bought it. Now I can't wait for my son to go to bed at night so I can "play" with this software. It's wonderful! It has elements of Powerpoint (slideshows - even the frame timing and sounds), Photoshop (filters like blur, noixe, pixelate, render, adjustments like brightness, contrast and even color filters!), word processors (adding text in installed fonts, sizing), vector programs (like Illustrator that allow you to place a vector image (clipart) and resize), and even hundreds of music selections/genres, clipart, scenery, artwork, textures, patterns, maps, and it will even read the text he types in. I obviously highly recommend this product.
