Free Open Source Drawing Software for Children

My friend told me that she is looking for free drawing software for her daughter. My friend is a graphic designer herself and it looks like her daughter has picked up some drawing skills as well. That was why my friend was eager to introduce computer art to her.

I came across this open source computer art software specially developed for children between the ages of 3 to 12, though older children or even adults could use it. There’s no hard and fast rule, right?

This is a really fun software and I think it would help me to improve on my own drawing skills. It’s pathetic, I tell you. To download Tux Paint, click HERE.
