Tux Paint is a completely free (Open Source) drawing program for kids as
young as 3 years old.  Among its features are:

  * Extremely simple, easy-to-use interface

  * Lots of fun sound effects, and a cartoon mascot that helps kids along

  * One-click saving (and thumbnail-based loading of saved images)

  * Translations into over 30 languages, including:
    Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese,
    Korean, Icelandic, Norwegian, Portuguese, and more...

  * A collection of 'magic' tools, like rainbow, sparkles, and blur

  * A variety of 'stamps' that can be pasted into pictures.
    Most stamps have educational descriptions that are displayed
    (and most have been translated into the supported languages).
    Many stamps have sound effects.
    Various stamps can be mirrored, flipped, colored or tinted.

  * A text tool with numerous fonts built-in

  * Extendability - add your own paint brushes, stamps and fonts!


The new release now includes the ability to flip, mirror, shrink and grow
stamp images.  The stamps collection also now includes Christmas,
Hanukkah and New Year's themed stamps!
