ClueFinders 3rd Grade [OLD VERSION] Review

ClueFinders 3rd Grade [OLD VERSION] Feature

• Take a clue-searching trek into the depths of the rain forest
• Explore 30 exciting interactive games and exercises
• Build third-grade skills in math, language, science, geography, and more
• 4 levels of difficulty; detailed help features; built-in progress reports
• Mystery Mansion Arcade CD-ROM included; for ages 7 to 9+

The ClueFinders series of educational games takes children through several years of development, so they can learn as they get older following the adventures of familiar characters. ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures is aimed at the youngest age group, and is suitable for children aged 7 to 9 years.

The game scenario is easy to follow. Dr. Pythagoras, the uncle of one of the ClueFinders, has disappeared from the rain forest. Animals are going missing, too. The young adventurers need to find the keys to an ancient city to work out what is going on, and to free Dr. Pythagoras. The keys are hidden in puzzles in two corners of the rain forest.

As our adventurers progress through the rain forest, they encounter these puzzles and more, which they must solve if they are to be successful. ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures teaches skills in math, logic, language arts, science, and geography, though it firmly wraps its educational content in these puzzles so you hardly notice that you are learning while you play.

There are four difficulty levels, and a document for parents explains how each of the puzzles works at each difficulty level. As an added bonus, a second CD, the Adventure Kit, provides a range of additional software, including a kit for setting up your own friends' adventuring club. --Sandra Vogel Venture deep into the rain forest and learn a fullyear of 3rd grade skillsProduct InformationJungle animals are disappearing and a world-famous scientist has suddenlyvanished.

• A 17% larger workspace, visible menu bar, tool tips, and help movies make Kid Pix Deluxe 4 for Kids easier to use
• For Ages 4 and Up

If your child is an aspiring artist, the Learning Company Kid Pix Deluxe 4 may be the ideal art tool to help fuel his or her huge imagination. Freshly updated with an easier-than-ever interface, a larger creative canvas, and a host of irresistible new tricks and tools, Kid Pix Deluxe 4 Home Edition invites artistic kids to paint, stamp, scribble, write, imagine, explore and dream -- all with the click of a mouse.

A easy-to-view menu bar, rollover descriptions, and helpful videos to speed up classroom adoption.

Teachers can control graphics and background libraries for individual projects.

Think of Kid Pix Deluxe 4 as the ultimate creative playground for your child. 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.
