Widdow Works is pleased to announce their first "edutainment" product, Soup
KIDchen.
Soup KIDchen is a unique program that transcends traditional children's
software to help children use their imagination and have fun with their
parents. It also helps parents take an active role in their children's
education. Soup KIDchen's easy-to-use interface helps children learn the
alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes by association with images and sounds
which are completely configurable by the parent. The images and sounds may be
obtained from various sources, which include those created by parent and child
using some favorite multimedia tools, those discovered while surfing the 'net,
scanned family photos or family audio clips. Using Soup KIDchen, children
enjoy learning in an environment designed with their parents.
Parents configure the database of pictures and sounds in a notebook interface,
using drag-n-drop if desired. Other features, such as wave file volume,
background music volume and background music selection are also configured in
the notebook.
A demo/shareware version of Soup KIDchen is available on HOBBES and BMT Micro,
and can be registered through BMT Micro:
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/demos/SupK100s.zip
ftp://ftp.wilmington.net/bmtmicro/SupK100s.zip

The demo version is fully functional, with the exception that changes to the
database are not saved between sessions. Soup KIDchen will also be available
through Indelible Blue's Summer Catalog.
