Pretty Things
Pretty Things is a painting package with a difference. It's all about creating art through experimentation. Choose from a large array of unusual tools and allow the picture to evolve in front of you. No experience is necessary - just click and watch what happens!
Experiment with wild brushes, falling sand and geometric shapes, kaleidoscope effects, moving marks and spinning canvasses. This software is packed full of wonderful sound and animated effects. Pictures can be saved in a gallery, printed out, or played in a slide show.
- Contains no speech or text - ideal for any age or ability
- Interchanging between the 9 activities provides endless possibilities
These activities can also be played online at home or school.
"...it is holding attention and really engaging the kids, all of whom have great difficulty with communication, concentration and physical skills - the ease of using it plus the instant results and noises is great."

The children currently choose Pretty Things over other software to 'play' with and it has helped promote further independent use of ICT in our Foundation Stage classrooms"

The Creative Things Pack
Pretty Things and Noisy Things are both Early Years BETT award winners. Put them together and you've got an unbeatable and fun creative resource for novice and more experienced computer users alike. Put them on the whiteboard and watch the scramble to have a go!
Every activity encourages experimentation and open-ended play, and enhances it all with surprising, funny and even beautiful images and sounds. The Creative Things Pack will give children confidence in their own creative powers and help them understand the roles that repetition, spacing, texture, density, tempo, dynamics, balance and symmetry play in both musical composition and picture making.
