Technical Aspects

Loaded and ran smoothly on my P200, 32 MB of RAM and Windows 95. Just pop the CD into the CD-ROM drive and you are off creating stickers in no time! Results and Conclusions: Dino StickerTime was a definite must in my house. My six-year-old believes there is nothing else more exciting in the world than dinosaurs. He lives and breathes dinosaurs! When the program arrived it had to be installed on the computer right away, and then he had to look at every dinosaur in the program. I did not tell him it came with sticker sheets right away so that he would take the time and explore the program. Once he found out there were sticker sheets there was no stopping him! Well, actually, there was one way of stopping him! Four sheets of stickers does not go a very long way, and before long he wanted more sheets to print off. Of course I had no more! So one piece of advice if you plan on purchasing the program--buy extra sticker sheets, as you will need them. You could print them out on ordinary paper, cut them out and use glue. But it really is not the same as real sticker!

I looked everywhere on the package for a list of the sticker sheets needed for the program, but it's not there. So, to assist anyone that plans on purchasing the program, here are the four types of stickers used in the program: (Avery Kids #3110, #3111, #3112 and #3113.)

You are not totally limited to dinosaurs with this program. With the option to import, you are only limited by your own imagination! As a teacher, I will use the program to create my own stickers to use in class.
