  • Sugar: An activity-focused, open-source software learning platform for children
    PBS Kids has a lot of games and activities on their website: https://pbskids.org/games If your kids watch any PBS shows them they'll recognize the characters. The activities were fun enough for our twins to learn how to use computer mice at age 3. Tux Paint is also really fun for young kids and a good way to learn mouse usage: https://tuxpaint.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

  • Instant flood fill with HTML Canvas
    I can also recommend https://tuxpaint.org/. I see they also have an app for Android nowadays, but no iOS it seems. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Ask HN: Kids Computer
    This is going to depend on the age of the kid. I have given a cheap Laptop to my 6-year old and introduced her to Scratch[1] and Tuxpaint[2]. I let her use the mouse and keyboard more instead of tapping on a screen. The school is likely to introduce Scratch from next year. For older kids, they should be on a normal computer. My old MacBook Pro came handy for the elder one. She does the usual Python, games and... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  • [TOMT] [software] [windows] [90s-2000s] Similar to ms paint, it had a violet butterfly as logo
    (Or Tux Paint, which doesn't match the logo at all). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Best free game on Linux game for a child?
    Https://tuxpaint.org/ (not directly a game but still seems to be a lot of fun for kids and helps a lot with basic computer usage like mouse and sidebar tools. As warning, sound effects can quickly get on the nerves of adults, at least they did for me, but the kids love it). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is there a way to make Paint.Net work on linux systems or failing that a program like Paint.Net for linux?
    Tuxpaint - most distros have it available, is targeted for children - but has capabilities about equivalent to Microsoft Paint ... If that's what Paint.Net is like ... anyway, sounds like some kind'a Microsoft thingy, whatever that is. Source: over 2 years ago
  • [Pc] Game about placing stickers
    If she just wants to place stickers and doesn't care what it's on there's a lot of free and pay paint programs that have stickers. https://tuxpaint.org/ is free, very ugly, and has lots of stamps that can be stamped down and you can import your own. If she wants to place stamps on something this is just a normal paint program so you can load any image you want. Source: over 2 years ago

    Tux Paint (version 0.9.27): A drawing program for children. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Please help me find this.
    It could be TuxPaint but without Flintstones. As google adds sometimes part of from Wiki, I noticed that TuxPaint is alternative for KidPix. I hope that this has been helpful. Source: over 2 years ago
