Astoundit Software has published Kid Create, an application that offers a suite of kid-friendly software, including a slide-puzzle game, a calculator and dictionary, a clock and calendar, drawing, painting and writing tools, and more. Parents can lock out any applications they don’t want their children to focus on, such as the game when they should be writing an essay, and kids can’t quit or force-quit Kid Create without a password. You can download a demo from the Astoundit Web site that will allow you to try the software 10 times before you have to pay the US$24 license fee. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2 or higher, QuickTime 6 or higher, 64MB RAM and 20MB hard drive space.
