With it you can create dynamic works of art using a variety of virtual media -- from oil paints and collage to rainbows, trees and more. Kid Pix lets you work with traditional art tools like chalk, paint, pencil and crayons in the Realistic Paint Mode, or "crazy art tools" such as the "electric mixer," wacky brushes, spray paint and more. The sky truly is the limit to your child's imagination, and Kid Pix knows that better than anyone. A nifty Sound Art! feature lets your child paint wild pictures using the sound of his or own voice! And we all know how much bugs play a role in a youngster's imagination. Kid Pix lets them spray scenes with 3D shapes, including bugs and candy, and it lets them get real messy with the use of special effects such as warp, splash and smear. The program even lets children create their own animated movies! As an added feature that will help your child create their own holiday gifts and enhance the family photo albums, Kid Pix has a photo customization feature that allows you to import photos so that you child can customize them with thousands of stickers, stamps and special effects. Your child can choose from more than 500 backgrounds that can enhance the photos, and from the new creations they can make slide shows, storybooks and much more.

 Encore says this does not work properly on any Intel Mac October 22, 2009
Craig (CA United States)
I purchased this product without reading these reviews. I called the manufacturer and they insist that is doesn't work properly on an Intel Mac or any version of Mac OS above 10.5.5. Their website is horrible as is their phone support. I would never buy a product from Encore Software again.
I have since bought the MacKiev version. I highly recommend it to anyone with a Mac. It is even Snow Leopard compatible!
 Works on Mac with this VERSION 2 September 17, 2009

I have an Intel Mac running 10.5, and this software works fine. I think the reviews stating it doesn't work on a Mac were referring
to the version 4, not this one, Version 4.1.
She learns while having fun.... August 30, 2009

The first time my daughter discovered this program, she was addicted. Dora, Diego and Sponge Bob all went out the window. I didn't pay much for this software, but it was worth every cent.

My 3 year old is already literate with the software and is very proud of her creations! My 15 year old still loves it too!
 BLAH! After 6 months of headaches, I am placing it under my car's rear tires June 17, 2009

This is just not for Mac users. It *works*, but it continually crashes under both Tiger and Leopard, Intel and PPC.
I really do not have a lot of pros to add because it has been nothing but frustration, to needing to set user names that don't always work to having to insert the game disc every time you play (which is a pain if you have multiple computers and children who are prone to lose, break things, play frisbee...).
It is a good cheap time occupier if it works - and would be good for hand/eye coordination, plus fueling creative juices. However unless you want to work on frustration behaviors, skip this if you have a Mac.
