Description:
The Fun Shop is open for business, and what a fun business it is! Freddi Fish, a familiar face in the world of children's computer games, takes a break from solving mysteries in this creativity program. His workshop is filled with guided projects, and additional play areas inspire more individual crafts. Kids can put their favorite characters--Freddi and his fishy friends--on party hats, mobiles, and greeting cards, and additional background colors, text, and shapes can be added to any template with just a click of the mouse. The activity center also offers kids a more creative outlet--designing their own images and backgrounds for the different projects. This program isn't limited to print shop-type activities, however; it also includes activities such as the interactive storybook, in which kids can send Freddi out on adventures of their own. The projects are smartly designed with bright colors and a variety of patterns. The clear instructions make the templates easy to use, and creations appear onscreen with just a click of the mouse. Similar to most print shop programs, a color printer is not a requirement, but it is almost a necessity; children will truly enjoy their creative projects as they move from the computer to their own playful hands in all the brightness and clarity displayed on the screen. --Madeleine J.
