4 stars (Great game for kids and big kids!) - My son uses Kid Pix at school so we got this for him to use at home. It's great! We all have fun making different things!
4 stars (Both my 10 and 5 years old boys love it) - It's educational and a lot of fun to play with.
4 stars (Senior Citizen Alert!) - I purchased this item on the recommendation of a few of my adult friends who have found great success by displaying their "art work" in several local galleries, giving some credit to Kid Pix.
Well, I have realized I will never be an artist, but the software is so creative, if you will, and so much fun to use. I am making pictures/designs I always wished I could make before.
I have a Mac iBook G4. The software was a bit tricky to open after the installation process. But, when I put the actual cd back into the computer to start over, it opened immediately. It's working beautifully.
I don't recommend this software for children because it is too "instant"...all you have to do is click on a design you like and/or click on an "eraser" to undo your work. I think the joy of painting and drawing is the time it takes to create from one's own exploration. A lot of daydreaming and wonderful time for a child to explore his/her own imagination and creativity.
I highly recommend this software to senior/retired citizens who can have fun with this software by designing greeting cards, creating cute pictures for their children/grandchildren - it's very relaxing and you have something to show for the short time it takes. Once you get started, it's easy to manipulate and even fun to "discover" all the tools and how to use them. Also - it doesn't do any harm to have fun by sharing your software with the children/grandchildren when they visit.
Have fun,
