Tux+Paint

__**Tux Paint** __ **Tux Paint is a simple to use, free downloadable Paint programme. It contains the basic features that traditional Paint programmes have, but also has 'Magic' effects that can be added to a picture, such as putting in grass, flowers, brick patterns or even pixelating.**
 * **Tux Paint would successfully maintain the interest of younger children, as there is alot to experiment with and they will probably spend alot of time using one effect before trying another one. For older children, again, the simple nature of the programme may result in the children becoming bored easily as it would not take them long to explore the content fully.**
 * **The programme can extend learning to some extent, in that children who are used to simple traditional paint programmes will see by using Tux Paint that it is possible to incorporate several different effects into a picture. It is very good at saving time for children, as rather than having to draw features like brick walls and grass, the magic button lets thejm insert these at the touch of a button.**
 * **The website states that the software is aimed at ages 3-12. The programme is therefore age appropriate for younger children, as there is no need to be able to read due to the sound effects that say what colour you are using, etc. Older children may get a little bored with the programme after a while because it is so simple to use and does not provide a great challenge to them.**
