Tux Paint has many features that are similar to those in Firefox -- even in Photoshop. Yet, this free program is simple enough to be handled by very young children.
In today's landscape with an ever-widening mulitmedia horizon, this is an excellent program--to help children become more technologically literate.
It is also good as an outlet for creativity.
The Text Tools and images can be combined, so that children can write and illustrate together.
Features, such as the Shapes Tool and the Stamp Tool could be used for teaching math.
The program can be downloaded, with or without the extra Stamp Software, at:

Both are free at this time.

This is a good program for people who want to work with younger children one day, and it's something I haven't heard of. Thanks for introducing it to me!
A wonderful program for children. I'll tell about it to our children's librarians. Thanks for sharing!
I never heard of it until 3 days ago; but the program is definitely supported. See the reviews at this link:http://www.tuxpaint.org/reviews/
