Random review:
“I don't usually talk about or recommend software or IT things, but I would make this exception for the great drawing and painting programme for children (and the young at heart!) - Tuxpaint. Since I installed it on our ageing home iMac, my son Jacob has been really enjoying it” — Mark Lawrence, September 2006

Tux Paint for Mac OS X

Tux Paint for Mac OS X comes as two disk image (.dmg) files. One contains main program (Tux Paint) and a configuration program (Tux Paint Config.) for parents and teachers. Copy them to your hard drive's Applications folder. The other contains an application that installs the optional 'stamps' collection.

Compatibility note: The current version of Tux Paint requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later. If you're using Mac OS X 10.3, you can download Tux Paint version 0.9.20 (from June 2008). If you're using Mac OS X 10.2.8, you can download Tux Paint version 0.9.14 (from October 2005). Download older versions from the Tux Paint file release archive at SourceForge.net.

Note: Internet Explorer may truncate the filename! Rename it to have a ".dmg" extension after downloading, or use another browser (such as Safari or Firefox).
