I'll have to try the OS X build.

6:33 AM EDT 		I installed it on a Windows XP box for my 5 year old son. He really liked it, although he used "Paint" for drawings. When my daughter got to about 3 years old, she really liked TuxPaint, particularly the "stamp pad" feature and the "magic wand".

Of course, this cost me a lot of toner and paper.

8:42 AM EDT 		Before I installed Tuxpaint (I have it in Debian Lenny, Ubuntu 8.04, OpenBSD 4.2 ...), I wondered if kids wouldn't be better off with the same paint program that "adults" use, but Tuxpaint is really fun.

Just like you say, the stamp pad, the magic wand, and a whole bunch of cool things for kids makes it a really fun, creative application that works for a wide range of ages.
