- 8. USER COMMENTS "I just had to tell you that [our daughter] is absolutely in love with Tux Paint. I know I told you that, but it's freaking me out that she is only 3 and can operate it all on her own. She knows how to change the background, change stamps, go from one brush type to another and change colos - she learned how to use it so quickly! So, I thank you. And [my daughter] thanks you! :)"- Patti M., Sacramento, California, USA "I have 3 kids; a five year old and 3 year old twins. Now that I've downloaded Tux Paint I can't keep them off my machine. They can't get enough of it. Great job and thanks for creating quality software for young kids that's free, to boot!" - Chris Bien "My children are big fans of your software (ages 4, 3, and 1) ... thanks for all your work on Tux Paint- always great to find resources like this for the kids whereby they can explore their creative potential and use to learn a computer at the same time. Novel idea!" - Rich Kulesus Tux Paint User Comments
- 9. SCHOOL COMMENTS Tux paint solved many of my problems in the classroom (Arts Area), especially the lack of materials, pigments, media cards, colored pencils, various brushes, etc. [It also solved] the problem of time; [...] the subject of art only lasts one hour and 20 minutes per week. ... [We researched] the use of this educational software to develop expressive skills in children of 11 and 12 years in my workplace. The result was optimal. I am pleased to have Tux Paint as a partner in my field. Peru Cusco "My students and I love to use TuxPaint. I have made several templates which have greatly enhanced their learning-thank you for this tool..." Michael Rotjan Tux Paint School Comments Link
