Kids stand to learn and grow by exercising their creativity and imagination. One of the best ways to develop creativity is through art. I've found a few free tools that will help your children find their inner artists. These freebies can also help with school projects.
Tux Paint is easy to use. It features large buttons bearing both icons and labels. The screen stays uncluttered, showing only one tool set at a time. Saving is done in one click without dealing with folders and file names. Opening of files is also simple. Instead of browsing through Windows' folders, children choose from small previews of their saved drawings.
Tux Paint comes with a separate configuration tool for parental control. For example, it can be used to limit or disable printing. It can also control where your children's artwork is saved. Otherwise, Tux Paint saves drawings in an obscure location.
The Open Clip Art Library is a collection of original, non-copyrighted images. The site constantly receives submissions from artists. In fact, your children can submit their own art.
