I was asked about a feature on Tux Paint the other day and I have to say I couldn't answer the question. What is more I was busy and that only made it worse! Tux Paint is one of the best paint software programs around. It works on any computer - alas not an iPad - and it is FREE!
In my opinion every EYFS and KS1 teacher should have it on their laptop - use it and get to know it well. Watch the children use it. I got a great idea about symmetry using the kaleidoscope tool from a Year 1 child and then used the next day with Year 2. Such admissions! - but isn't that the way it should be?

Tux Paint can be downloaded for free at http://www.tuxpaint.org An online gallery for student work to be uploaded to as well as a whole set of stamp plugins.
Tux Paint works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 W7, Mac OS X, and Linux.
if you would like this on your laptop, see me or see our Network administrator, Mr Joy Johnson.
