interesting facilities.
.......is to be able to customize the same art program for children of
different ages or abilities.
.......is for the child to be able to see what's been selected,just by
looking at the menu (ie. no hidden,drop-down or sub-menus)
.......is for YOU to be in control,able to deny access to facilities with
a series of lockable options.
.......is for EACH of your kids to have their own customised copy of the
program.
