What is Kid Pix?
Kid Pix is a drawing software program
designed for children. It can be used for students
in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Teachers can
simplify the program for younger students or make
the program more complex for older
students. This software program helps to develop children’s visual creativity and basic computer based
graphic arts skills. This program is mostly used in schools because it can fit
into many different subject areas.
