Cd-Rom Programs Make Learning Fun

Newsday

Games rule, for kids. But, for parents, interactive experiences that encourage creative thinking and make learning fun are more valuable contributions to family life.

Here are some of the best play programs for kids:

“Nickelodeon Director’s Lab” offers the most realistic experience of using studio equipment; it’s the only program that also teaches basic multimedia authoring skills

“Felix the Cat’s Cartoon Toolbox”: Parents who grew up watching Felix and his bag of tricks will love this delightful animation program as much as their kids.

“Kidpix Studio” is, as Broderbund accurately describes this superb program, “easy enough for 3-year-olds and cool enough for 12-year-olds.”

“Amazing Animation”: Kids create interactive storybooks with this first-rate paint and animation program.

“Spiderman Cartoon Maker” features the same actor’s voice heard on TV, plus backgrounds and bad guys from the show.
