 A favorite--year after year |

Our daughter was about 5 when she first discovered Orly's Draw-A-Story. Five years later, it's still her hands-down favorite. Even though she's heard the stories over and over, she illustrates them differently each time. The software encouraged her to write and illustrate her own story, as well.
She doesn't like win/lose type games, so this software particularly appeals to her.
If you want truly creative software, this is the best out there. I've looked for similar software and I haven't found anything like it. |
Oh, I've Known This Since Elementary School!

I've always loved art when it naturally came upon me at a young age, so when I first experienced Orly's Draw-A-Story, I didn't know what to do first! So I started off with the doodle pad where you can practice drawing. I especially like the stories, which are so imaginitive. My favorite is "The Strange Princess." I got to create my own submarine and an eye for it! There's the junkyard where you can watch your own movies come to life and if you click on the tire labeled "Learn to Draw," you are taken to the doodle pad where Orly will give you instructions on what to do. I really do miss it, since I've had fun with art with Orly and her frog, Lancelot.

| I have 5 children that I home educate and Orly and her humorous frog keep my children engaged. You can draw whatever you like when prompted or use the predesigned pictures and they will come to life in any of the great stories your child chooses. So much to see and do funny little pop ups to make this cd so interesting, even the eraser argues with undo. TOO funny! Your kids will love this CD. |
Buy this game!

We got this game for our oldest daughter at 3 1/2 and she still will spend hours on this game at 7 years old. I can't say enough about it. Very cute character, wish there were more Orly story games to purchase.
Great for girls AND boys. |
