Educational Value
This title is pure fun and allows kids to imagine, create, design, and be rewarded with useful and fun printed results.

Entertainment Value
All children love to create — and print — their own artwork. With help from pre-designed templates, cute and easy-to-use design screens, and a fun paint pad, children can do just that. Familiar and lovable characters add to the appeal, and "extra" activities make this a title kids will enjoy.

Design
Very kid-friendly controls make this title easy to use for even the youngest of designers. Added parental printer controls help save paper and ink.

Replayability
Kids are only limited by their imaginations, and will return to this program time and time again.

Dollar Value
At a retail price of $20 US, this title is a good buy. As with all print shop software for kids, figure in the cost of printer ink, paper, and extra arts and crafts supplies that will be necessary to keep kids happily creating.
