Sean’s Magic Slate

Sean’s Magic Slate is a simple program which enables your son or daughter to easily draw and color landscapes.

The interface is very simple and easy to use, so that your child can find his or her way around it, without encountering issues. In addition to that, extensive Help contents are provided, in case there is a section of the software utility which was not completely understood (press F1 button to bring them up).

It is possible to access multiple types of backgrounds (the moon, house, forest, school yard etc.), randomly colored or plain. Sixteen colors are provided in two palettes which kids have to toggle between, namely a dark and bright one. All they have to do is choose a shade and click the area they want to use it in.

Sean’s Magic Slate comes packed with a wide variety of objects, animals and toys, which can be added to drawings, by simply clicking on them. They can add trees, turtles, cats, flowers, houses, boats, planes, and the list goes on.

All the inputted items can be represented in two sizes, they can be flipped to the right or left, as well as erased.

Some small drawbacks to this application are represented by the fact that the drawings cannot be saved to the hard drive, and there is no possibility of drawing freehand, both features might have increased usability greatly.

Despite some minor flaws, Sean’s Magic Slate is an efficient piece of software which does not put a strain on your computer’s performance. Response time is good and we did not detect any errors, bugs or crashes during our tests.
