Is it weird that I feel like I've never heard of this app? I mean, I was around late 80s/90s but I dunno....what platform/years are the core of this?

Here's some other retrospective from recent:

The creative legacy of Kid Pix https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27563615

This was in the early/mid 90s or so I'd hazard to guess. I've only seen it on PCs.

It was often the most fun application in an elementary school's computer lab. As far as I know it was never officially bundled or anything, but just a popular program. I also had it on my computers at home because both my parents were in graphic design and used Corel Draw for work, and my dad was a bit of a computer geek.

I was born in 1998 and every school PC had a version of kidpix installed (v3 I think) despite it being quite old at the time. I have a vague memory of kidpix being used to teach the basics of computing like how to save a file to the file hierarchy and then how to print it.

ohhh, was it mainly a Mac thing? PC-focus over here. Still think I would have heard of it

It was on the Windows desktops in my schools.

Interesting. The go-to was MS Paint that I ever saw, because of course it was already included. My side point was also thought that I've never even heard people mention Kid Pix until now. But have heard about other legendary things like Printshop etc etc
