Cartooning in education environments is encouraged by a number of independent academics. Our software is suitable as a stand-alone learning resource for children from about age 12.

" I believe cartooning is a valuable tool to enhance children's learning and creative originality. It stimulates higher order thinking skills and complements other techniques for creative problem solving, allowing children to explore ambiguity. Ian Dalkin's Cartooning Kit is a valuable, structured approach to such activities which will aid children from Upper Primary onwards in creating and manipulating humorous perspective; and it will be enjoyed by even younger gifted children."

" The cartooning approach adopted by Ian Dalkin promotes important cognitive and creative skills. Young children learn to manipulate information, and they participate in valuable linear, lateral and divergent thinking activities. Cartooning is, indeed, much more than a passive drawing activity and requires no drawing skills from either teachers or students, yet its value in enhancing cognitive and creative aspects is enormous."

" If creativity is about linear, lateral and divergent thinking or the ability to look at the world in different ways and manipulate information, then this is educational dynamite."
