Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This fun art program offers an assortment of tools for kids to create their own masterpieces. Tux Paint's colorful interface has easy-to-understand buttons for choosing paintbrushes, colors, shapes, and text. By default, a sound accompanies each action. This can get a bit tiresome, but fortunately Tux Paint includes a control panel for disabling sounds and setting mouse, language, and tool preferences. You can print completed artwork and save projects, either by overwriting the same file each time or saving each one as a new file. You can only save in one format, however, as Tux Paint doesn't support JPEG, BMP, and other image types. Nevertheless, this well-designed freeware is a great way to entertain the kids inside on rainy days.Publisher's description

Version: Tux Paint 0.9.19
"Two thumbs up, Entertaining for young aspiring artists"
Pros: Playful, simple controls. Easy for my 4-year old to figure out. Provides a wide array of special effects to make impressive artwork.
Cons: Fixed window and canvas size. Does not even allow window resizing.
Summary: With only one minor "con" and no pricetag, there's no reason not to get this.
