Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff.

Today I’ve added another valuable free program to my “Cool Stuff” page. This program really is a wonderful resource, especially if you want to offer young children a set of tools for creative expression on the computer.

Tux Paint (downloadable program) Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children (ages 3 and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. To download, and for more information about the program, including videos that demonstrate how to use various features, visit http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/ Be sure to check out the extensive gallery of art work from around the world that has been created by young artists with Tux Paint.

This program runs in Windows, Mac and Linux.
