That's brilliant. Charlie loves that and it's helped him use his imagination. He loves mixing the colours. He now says to me things like “red and blue makes purple”. He understands now that mixing colours makes new ones. The best thing is the freedom for kids to explore because it's freehand and they can make shapes and pictures. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

Information
Dazzle is a painting program available at four levels. Each level has a different selection of applications available, designed to match the skills and abilities of children from pre-school to secondary school levels.
Dazzle 03 includes a wide range of tools, including multiple stamp banks, natural art effects, gradient fills and layers.
The program is an excellent way to introduce key concepts such as colour, shape and pattern, as well as spatial awareness, to early learners. Older students can be helped with mathematical concepts: each level of the program complements the stages of the national curriculum.
Dazzle allows you to correct mistakes and explore different options. There is a save-to-web function which allows you to create and manage an online gallery of work that can be viewed from any online computer. There is the option to include sound and video, and some of the menus can be read aloud, making it suitable for users with learning disabilities.

It benefits the children because its for children with special needs. My 2 year old uses it for drawing pictures, my six year old uses the mouse to do painting and can put text and his own words. My 15 year old loves the colours and the other programs. Even Garry who is autistic can use all the stages because its such an excellent program. All my children have learnt mouse control because of the games. It's easy and quick for autistic children to pick up. They all enjoy it. I'd definitely recommend it, well worth the money.
Garry
He uses colours a lot and he loves painting with it. He definitely enjoys painting and we try and get pictures and sounds out for him. It's enough for him, it keeps him occupied.
