FOR CHRISTMAS I got the Nick-O-Matic Design Factory, published by Mattel Media. It has a lot of the characters from the Nickelodeon channel. With it you can make over 650 Projects! For example, I like to use Greeting Cards to make birthday cards for my friends. You can also try Birthday Kits to make birthday invitations, place mats, banners, placecards, and cut-out envelopes. Or you can use Banners for welcome banners, clean-up banners, and more. You can use Postcards when you are on vacation, so you can send a postcard to your folks. The Calendars feature lets you schedule kids' activities.

The Envelopes feature helps you with business envelopes or Nick cut-out envelopes. Trading Cards have all the Nickelodeon characters' pictures on the cards. With Stationary, you can make your own paper with characters on them from each show. Crafts lets you make paper airplanes, mazes, puzzles, and fortune tellers. The airplanes and the fortune tellers come with step-by-step directions.

With Online Cards, you can make a card then send it to someone via e-mail. And Certificates are for graduation or anything like that. The Stickers are for your shirt or anything you like. Also, as a special bonus, you get Avery papers for the stickers! What I like most about this program is Crafts, because the Fortune Tellers have some great gags.

You can buy the Nick-O-Matic Design Factory for $19.95 at e-Toys. If you are using Windows, you will need at least a 100Mhz Pentium or faster processor, Windows 95/98, 16MB RAM, 90MB free hard disk space, 2X CD-ROM drive, and High and True color support (800 X 600 monitor). I recommend it.
