Paint program for Kids

[SiHH]

Just wanted to draw your attention to a great little program I have found which allows kids to draw pictures and learn about shapes etc etc and also gives them practice using the mouse.. It's basically mspaint with a bit more to it and very child friendly.

My 4 year old loves it and astounds me at how coordinated he is with the mouse and cursor

It's called Tuxpaint and is free, it can be downloaded here:
www.tuxpaint.org

Enjoy

artrage is awesome too, not used tuxpaint, will give it a go

with artrage, you use actual brushes etc, so the colours smudge & mix, really cool software, seen nothing else like it

Artrage looks very impressive but perhaps a little advanced for my wee nipper.

Will keep it in mind though

Brilliant software.


ArtRage is used in Art GCSE a lot at my school. They have the paid version on the art computers, and the free on the network.

ArtRage is a little to complicated for a 4 year old. Tuxpaint looks very friendly to such an age range.

This s/w comes pre-installed on the Asus Eee 4G and my daughter absolutely loves it. It's a great piece of s/w that'll keep the kids amused for hours (priceless imho ).
