Tux Paint is a painting and drawing application for Windows PC. Tux Paint is compatible with almost every version of Windows for PC including Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME. This is ideal if a family's children are using an older computer for games and school work. Tux Paint is very kid-friendly, although grownups like it too. Tux Paint will attempt to 'grab' the mouse and keyboard, so that the mouse is confined to Tux Paint's window, and nearly all keyboard input is passed directly to it. This is useful to disable operating system actions that could get the user out of Tux Paint Alt-Tab window cycling, Ctrl-Escape, etc. Tux Paint installer for Windows comes as two parts, the main program (and the configuration program), and the optional add-on 'stamps' collection. Tux Paint is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6). Tux Paint is used in schools around the world as a computer literacy drawing activity. It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program. Fun and easy-to-use, Tux Paint features a host of funny sound effects and a likable cartoon mascot who can guide a child through the drawing process. Tux Paint is available in over 70 languages, features 250 stock images to paste into pictures, and can easily be customized by teachers and parents to fit the needs of a particular child.
If you want to provide your child with a little bit of fun and perhaps introduce them to using a PC, then Tux Paint is the perfect program.
Tux Paint is designed so that children can easily create images without much complication. For parents, this also provides an alternative to messy paints and magic markers. It is also environment friendly because it saves paper.
When Tux Paint is started, kids are presented with several image editing tools like a paint brush, stamps, eraser, adding text and the ability to open and print pictures.
