About Tux Paint
A free drawing program designed for young children (kids ages three and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative.

Draw lines, shapes or freehand using a variety of brushes and colors. Cartoon and photographic “stamps,” each with their own educational description and sound effect, can be pasted into a picture. Special effects like rainbow, sparkles and blur can be applied to parts of the drawing. Type text into a picture with various fonts and styles. Storing and retreiving images is simplified using one-click save and a thumbnail browser. Saved images can be viewed as a slideshow at various playback speeds. Multiple levels of undo and progressive saving allow children to try out ideas without ruining their masterpiece. Parental options allow Tux Paint to run with the Print and/or Quit options disabled, in fullscreen mode, with sound disabled, and in a variety of languages (over 70 supported).
