Computer Children's Software Resource

Broderbund's Kid Pix is a paint program designed just for kids. With tools, sound and visual effects, the sky is the limit for a child's creation. With the use of a mouse or mouse alternative, you can just explore or complete a masterpiece Kid Pix comes with a variety of "tools" displayed on the screen. Use the Wacky Pencil to draw free-form lines, or the Wacky Brush to paint in a variety of colors, in zig-zag, in dots, or paint circles within circles, just to name a few options.

One teacher uses Kid Pix Companion Slide Show with Kid Pix as a means of introducing her children to each other. Each child brings in several photos which are then scanned into the computer. The child then uses his/her own voice to narrate the sequence of pictures in a slide-show format. Kid Pix and Kid Pix Companion are purchased separately, or together as Kid Pix 2. For more information on Kid Pix, Kid Pix Companion, or Kid Pix 2, contact Ed Salisbury or Patty Hove at the Kent/Sussex Assistive Technology Resource Center.
