    Story to share - my kids are well into her their teens now, but my youngest, in particular, loved Tux Paint, and used it long before she could read, she'd just click away.

    One day, she's playing in Tux Paint, and a print out of her image falls from the sky. We had a desk with shelving. Two shelves above the monitor was our printer. She'd clicked on the print button, without knowing what it would do, or for that matter, even knowing what a printer was or that we had one.

    She was SO excited, "look, look, what I was drawing came out on paper from the ceiling"

    Not sure if it’s relevant to anyone else, but my kids love this software and have been using it for years

      My kids also have been using it for years on a regular basis and love it. They made tons of "movies".

      My kids have fond memories of TuxPaint as it was included in GCompris. All of GCompris is worth a look, although I think they liked TuxPaint best.

    This and GCompris are worth a look for any parent!
