 Entertains the grandkids for hours August 14, 2006

I recently purchased two copies of this program, and am about to purchase two more for the homes of grandchildren and friends. The options for playing with the program seem to be endless. It encourages the young children to learn mouse skills, and how to operate a computer program while having LOTS of fun in creativity. Our 4 year old grandkids and 10 year olds and their friends spend many hours using this program and just having fun with it.
It's best if an adult can help the child know what options are available to them in the program. Very young children can use the program in a basic manner, and older children can learn the finer skills.
It's best to change the resolution on your monitor to 800 x 600 (75HZ refresh rate) BEFORE opening the program. That will open the program FULL SCREEN, instead of smaller if your resolution is normally set higher than 800 x 600.
One of Two Top Software My Daughter Loves September 8, 2006

Right along with the Giggles software this is the highest ranking software for my 3-year-old daughter. As Giggles taught her mouse movement and clicks, Kid Pix Delux has given her a new freedom of interactivity. While she can drag and drop amazing backgrounds, she loves to create lines and circles as they stretch and make goofy sounds. I set this program to automatically start when she turns on her computer. For some reason she loves to exit out of Kid Pix Delux first, go to Giggles (search Amazon for this product,) giggle at the cutest giggles when this program starts, and then comes right back to Kid Pix Delux to do her art work. The CD I bought is for Windows.
KidPix - what nostalgia December 3, 2007

I used to play with this program 10 years ago, and it's still a fun program for kids interested in art, but obviously too young for a complex program like photoshop (or a free alternative like the great paint.net). Lots of fun for kids - highly recommended! Note other reviews, not for mac or vista - so don't buy it if you have a mac or vista! But it works fine on XP.
My son loves this software! December 5, 2006

I read the other reviews and almost didn't buy this software for my son but we have Windows XP and I had no trouble installing it. He plays this at school and this is exactly the same. My son loves it!

I owned the original Kid Pix release. My kids told me that all the elementary schools in Loudoun County have Kid Pix Deluxe 4 loaded on the school computers. So I bought it and they were right. It's AWESOME! I recommend and the kids just love it.
