Shidonni-Creative Fun for Kids(Giveaway!)

Remember as a child how you loved to draw, whether it was people, animals, flowers, cars or airplanes? Have you ever imagined that your drawings come to life?

Shidonni is just that. Shidonni is a web based game-world for young children, ages 5 and up. After drawing their virtual pets, children play with them as they magically ‘come alive’. Children then care for, feed and play games that incorporate their drawings as main characters. It’s like crossing Windows Paint with a virtual pets game.

Check out this quick 2 minute video that tells you all about the world of Shidonni, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvxeJbqZPgw .

The core experience is based on imaginative creation. Shidonni goes beyond the typical interactive pet game concept, empowering kids to draw their imaginary pets and worlds, and play with them in a safe, fun environment. A key benefit of the Shidonni world is the promotion of 21st century computer literacy skills as well as early childhood coordination and creative development.
My Opinion
After beginning the game, I made my virtual pet, a cat. I drew my cat on the screen and after naming her, the animal began moving and dancing about the screen. I played around with all the tools, found a refrigerator and literally drew it’s food. Dragging the food I just created from the fridge to my animated cat, the cat began “eating” the drawing right there! It was so neat. A few other clicks and I have found a magic wand and I’m offering my pet “surprises” that allow it to change color and also nap.

Heading out into the Galaxy we find a plethora of games that your creation is actively involved in. I played for a while, and honestly if I had a few hours, I would have played longer. Now my kids enjoyed it as well, it’s a game you can’t stop playing!

Shidonni is an amazing way for kids to express themselves creatively. They will LOVE the interaction that this site provides. I am really in awe of this site and its capabilities. The site is simple enough for kindergarten students to use but will keep even 5th grade students intrigued.
