Fisher Price- Magna Doodle CD-ROM (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed in this product, based on the shipping weight of almost 1lb and the demensions of 8x2x9 i was expecting a doodle board to come with it instead of just a cd rom. If your looking for a doodle board this is not the ad for you.

All the fun of the Magna Doodle is now on your PC. Choosing from five different environments, kids can draw and erase like magic. Kids can create hot-air balloons, submarines, mermaids, and spaceships. They will be thrilled when their creations take off and come to life.

Kid Pix Studio Deluxe (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)~
***** 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?)!

Cosmic Blobs: Lab Rat Edition - Deluxe Version (Win/Mac) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 8-year-old granddaughters love creating and animating animals with this software. They combine animals at will (frog+gorilla=frogilla.) They have only skimmed the possibilities available in this program, so suspect this will be a computer activity that they won't outgrow. There is a tutorial and they needed it. It was kid friendly and very helpful.

Didi & Ditto Preschool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a really fantastic computer game for toddlers. My 2 year old can't play by himself, but he sits on my lap and we play the game together. He loves it! The graphics are great and it's jam packed with great learning activities. The fact that there are multiple levels of difficulty is a real bonus - I'm certain this is a game my son will enjoy for awhile to come.

Claymation Studio Deluxe Create Stop Motion Video Includes Clay Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this software to create stop motion claymation movies. The description on the box states that you can capture images using a digital camera, webcam or DV camcorder then apply small changes and add background images and music to create your own claymation movie. I cannot speak for webcams or DV camcorders but the editing features such as onionskin, rotoscope and chroma key do not work with digital camera images. I wrote Honestech and they confirmed what I had discovered after already opening the box. Nowhere on the box did it indicate that digital camera images were not able to utilize the full features of the software. I was not able to determine the limitations until opening the box and trying it out. Now I am out of the $42.99 I paid for a useless piece of software. The software does nothing more with digital camera images than you can most likely do with software already provided with your PC which is what I had been using (Windows movie maker). I am very disappointed please don't get burned like me, don't buy this software. The lowest rating I was able to give this was 1 star, it wouldn't let me put zero stars or I would have.
