Simple Paint: A Basic Drawing Program for Kids
Simple Paint is a supremely simple painting app designed to teach small children the basics of using a mouse. This free program, available for Windows, offers a blank canvas, a selection of colors and paintbrush widths, and a variety of brightly-colored stamps. It is a gussied-up version of Paint, but with limited options.
With Simple Paint, children can easily select different stamps and apply them to the canvas by clicking on the desired stamp and then the canvas. However, they cannot modify the size or move the stamps once they have been positioned. The program also offers various brushes and colors for freehand drawing, but there are no special effects or advanced features.
Unfortunately, Simple Paint lacks a save function and an undo option, which limits its usability. Additionally, the program only allows users to erase the entire canvas or fill it with a solid color. Overall, while Simple Paint serves its purpose of introducing children to mouse-based drawing, there are more comprehensive and engaging drawing apps available, such as Tux Paint.
Please note that Simple Paint is functional, but its simplicity prevents it from receiving a higher score.
