(And I love it for those reasons too… and because it’s free so I can install it on multiple computers at no cost.) They LOVE Tux Paint because it is easy to use - they’ve almost never asked me for help - and they can endlessly create. It’s been easy managing their “screen time” because they mostly love to make up imaginary games and play “Mommy, Baby” or pretend they’re a family of kittens or whatever other scenario they invent.īut if I were to make a chart of how they spend their computer time, it would show about 60% Tux Paint, 30% and 10% Other. My girls don’t spend too much time with computer or video games.

Sometimes they sit together at one computer and take turns with the mouse and other times I sit them at separate machines and let them both color and draw while I sneak in some work on a third computer (or do the dishes, laundry or whatever other wonderful chore awaits.) Sophia, who is now three and a half, has been watching Julia and begging for HER turn almost as long.

Julia is six years old and has been playing and loving Tux Paint since she was three.

Tux Paint is a free kids paint program that is incredibly easy to use while full of features to keep kids entertained for years! I’m so excited to tell you about this fun summer kids drawing contest, not only because of the great contest prizes, but because I can introduce you to my daughters’ FAVORITE computer game.
