Collage Machine helps users create amazing new pictures with photos from either an included library of more than 500 images or their own collection. Kids can shape and manipulate the images, draw on them, and layer, overlap and fade them. Then, they simply save and print creations for framing, sending to others or adding physical elements. “Kids can start creating beautiful pictures immediately and continue to create in different ways for hours as they explore all the functions and capabilities of the program. Collage Machine can be used in many different ways — [to] enhance a homework project … for scrapbooking [or] making birthday or greeting cards; the possibilities are endless,” James Metcalfe of ProtoZone told TDmonthly. This product received a Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award for Spring 2007 and the Children’s Technology Review‘s Editor’s Choice Award for February 2007. Launch date: November 2006.
