Nothing like getting kids started early learning to draw and paint using a fun program called "Tux Paint".

This easy-to-use interface has fun sound effects and a cartoon mascot to guide children as they use the program. This open source program is available for both the Windows and Mac OS.

Bring out the creative genius in kids or kids at heart and maybe a starting point for a future "Master".

Check out the "Children's Art Gallery"


You can get info and download Tux Paint here.

Hey, that's pretty cool. I'm teaching my neighbor's son how to use Paint.Net but this looks like it would be an easier place for him to start (he's 8, and is an incredible artist.....the only thing he's learning from me is the programs...he's got all the talent in the world!).

Make sure your tiny future DX-ers take a look at Scratch.  My (8 year old) daughter thought it was pretty cool before competitive dance took over our lives.
