Random review:
“The kids at our school regularly skip over KidPix 3 and head for Tux Paint. KidPix is just a big mess of fancy nonsense, whereas they can actually create pictures in Tux Paint.” — Mineral Elementary School District

 

5-Star and "100 Clean" rating, April 2007

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.

Kids are presented with a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help them be creative. (See the full list of features.)

March 8, 2012 — We just noticed that Google's Doodle 4 Google contest allows submissions made with computer software, like Tux Paint! So if you're a student in the United States who wants a chance at prizes, and having your drawing appear on both Google's home page and a limited edition of Crayola crayon boxes, you have until March 23rd to submit your doodle! And we'd of course love to see some made in Tux Paint!

Tux Paint is free, Open Source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It is developed by volunteers around the world. We work on it as a labor of love, with the hopes that people will find it useful, and in turn share it with their own friends and family.

Because Tux Paint (and other open source software) is free of cost and not limited in any way, a school can use it today, without waiting for procurement or a budget!
