Description: Zu3D is an new, exciting, stop-motion animation programme, designed specifically for schools. It is developed in consultation with a professional animator and primary school children. Zu3D allows for the creation of complete stop- motion animations with sound effects, music, titles and credits, all within the one easy to use, intuitive software package.
Score: 88.3%
What the testers said: “A great package with excellent animations for young children. However, quite a large amount of adult help was needed, so a more interactive help system may encourage children to use it independently. Children found the titles interesting and satisfying to use and were proud of the resulting animations.”

Score: 87.9%
What the testers said: “The children were immediately drawn to the bright colours of the instruments. They explored them independently and played the colour coded songs with support. The books were hard to use as the print was small; maybe song cards would be easier for children to use. The children enjoyed experimenting with sound by using different objects to hit the tubes with.”

What the testers said: “Children were really attracted to the boxes, they loved the colours. They also liked to talk into the speaker and listen to their recorded voice. A very successful product that got the children excited. We weren’t sure about the durability of this product, as the batteries are not replaceable.”
