Brilliant
A few possible drawing programs, as I am having difficulty making Paint.net portable:

http://sta.sh/muro/   requires sign up to save files, but you can export and save as png without registering. Online working.

free and opensource paint program for children:
http://www.tuxpaint.org/

I was looking for a simple online paint program that include text, image re-sizing  and for small images that are zoomed in, anti-aliasing off. Also saving to my computer in a chosen format (often I need .gif)

I usually use PAINT.NET, and now have a portable version, it's really powerful, but easy to stat using.

There are online programs I've found that may work as well...

slightly harder to use:

Other programs that work really well include:

Possibly too complex for younger children...
very well regarded, lots of support material, but doesn't save as a gif.


beautiful, but quite specialist use:
