• A painter perfect for young kids

  Pros

  It's the best drawing software for toddlers I could find.

  Cons

  It's mostly for toddlers and young children, it has virtually no features besides a paper and crayons.

  Summary

  Matt, my 3 year old son has been recently nagging me about him wanted to draw with the computer like his older brother. I have tried letting him use the Windows Paint and Tux, but he tended to close the programs and started messing up the desktop. I've looked for a painter that is "kid safe" and stumbled upon Crayens which is basically a "paper and crayons". It seemed to me too simplistic to me, but after letting Matt use it for a little while I understood the ingenuity of it: 1.Because the Crayens painter blocks the exit when it is on. I can leave matt by my computer and not worry about him exiting and getting to other programs. 2.Clicking on any keyboard-key changes the crayon color, so even Matt can handle color change. 3.Instead of using a tine arrow as a cursor, there is a very big crayon image, so it is very understandable for a toddler. For conclusion, I would never give this program to a teenager or even an 8 year old. But this painter is really tailored beautifully for very young kids. Judging by its purpose, I give it thumbs up! PS. I would love to have the possibility to publish Matt's doodles on Facebook for my family to see. Its not masterpieces but its the closest thing to a "fridge door" these days.
