The software tool that brings out the artistic talents of any child! / Ages 6-10 You can also e-mail your creations to friends and family
Amazon.com Review
With Kid Pix Deluxe Third Edition, your child can use his or her mouse, voice, and wildest imagination to create masterpieces on the computer. They'll go beyond mere virtual painting to smear, gloop, and smudge colors on a canvas that can be smooth, rough, or lizard-skinned. They'll use animated clip art, find psychedelic backgrounds, and even add music or sound effects to their creations. Then you'll send your kid to bed and start playing with Kid Pix yourself. It's that good. The program can feel a bit incomprehensible at first. After a quick installation, users encounter a screen with the usual icons--paintbrush, paint can, pencil. But there's also a cake mixer, a stick of dynamite, and a bald guy. All of this oddness is explained in the user's guide, but it's better to just jump into the right-brain spirit of this program and start clicking. Exploration reveals that the bald guy erases, while providing a running commentary, the mixer mixes colors, and the dynamite ignites, splutters, and then blows up the whole picture. Every tool here clanks, splooshes, or kerplunks, which makes Kid Pix Deluxe as close to tactile as a computer-painting program is ever going to get. On the practical side, there are templates for maps, charts, and reports that could be useful for school projects. Kids can also import their own photographs into the program, and tweak them as they see fit. Finished works of art can be put in a "slideshow," where auteurs can mess around with dissolves, fades, and more sound effects to complete their creations. One of the program's most unique features allows users to "paint" with their voices. Clicking and dragging while whispering and hollering into a microphone (not included) adds an interesting "performance art" element to the onscreen squigglings. Just be careful. We woke up our kids when we decided to see what our shouts looked like. (Ages 4 and older) --Anne Erickson

My daughter begged for this game July 6, 2008

My 8 year old played with this at school and begged that we get it for her at home. She is very creative and loves it.

I purchased this game for my 5 yr old. She uses the same program at school. It is a good way for young children to learn to point and click as well as be creative. This program has a lot of scenes and drag and drop features. You can also free hand color. she enjoys the program, and I like the fact she is learning to use the computer.

I wish I could give them zero stars.
Broderbund pulled support for software I owned only 2 years after it was released.
I was unable to install it because it required internet registration which was no longer supported. To solve the problem, they offered to SELL me a different software title.
They must have thought I was stupid. They expected me to give them more money???
This company has second rate software and third rate customer service. Do not buy anything from them.
Works great on XP-SP2 May 7, 2005

My kids (5 and 7 years old) both love this program and have spent countless hours exploring all the different features. I recently upgraded to Windows XP SP2 and was a little nervous on how it would affect this program. But it runs just fine.
