Paint program for young children

Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It IS meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.

Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.

There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.

Just like to add, for those wanting to use full screen mode, if you have tuxconfig installed you can choose full screen mode from within there. Where to save files can also be chosen e.g. to your own pictures folder

Süsses Programm für Kinder. Leider fehlt ein Fullscreen-Modus, oder ich bin zu blöd ihn zu finden.

Excellent software, only a few points to that: 1) full screen mode is missing, 2) to much questions for small children (new file, close program)

Yes, it is only for children. I cannot open any file I want, and I cannot save a file where I want, or rename it, etc. I am not sure why it is recommended on some sites as a similar program to the Windows software. 'Cause it is NOT! It is specially made for children, and I imagine it is a very good programs for this purpose!
