Tux paint is one of the greatest software that I would use in my early childhood class. Tux Paint is a drawing program for children from the ages of two and up. The best part of this program is that it is completely free to download. Children can find it easy to use and easy to navigate. It is very entertaining with the fun sound effects that play along and it is quite useful that a helpful cartoon penguin explains the steps that the children need to follow. It features tools like brushes, lines, shapes and a big eraser. The ´Rubber Stamp´ tool provides access to many drawings and photos which can be placed in the drawing.

Even with the few cons I believe it is still a very good program to start off with. Everything has a few tweaks that need fixing but in this case the pros outweigh the
