Review
My kids loved this!, August 10, 2000
Reviewer: Lisa H. Believe it or not this program had sat in my collection for several months before we installed it! The kids have been fighting over the computer ever since. You can 'virtually' put together castles and you can then walk through both the inside and the outside. You can ALSO print out these castles and make them again out of paper. My children are 7, 8, and 10 and all of them have loved this program. On the computing side of things, the kids can easily wander the program on their own, it is very friendly. The reason for the four stars is that the instructions for the paper-version castles really need adult guidance. BUT, it turned out to be rewarding, quality time. Make the castles, get a green poster board as a piece of land and VOILA! your kids will have an awesome time.
We just purchased this product and my kids love it. My youngest child, age 6
can maneuver through this program with ease! We are now purchasing additional
Crayola software from Family Fun Software. Thanks!!
