Tux Paint is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6).It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program.
Kids are presented with a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help them be creative.
