Chrome Box - drawing & painting

[Marni Flitsch]

Hello all, 

I'm in a PC / windows lab that is converting to Chromebox devices in the near future.   Have had much success for Kindergarten & 1st grade using TUX PAINT (open source download) to teach beginning of the year navigation, mouse control and basic tools.   This is not available on Chromebox/chromebook.  Does anyone have a good Chrome app or extension or website that would be a good replacement?  I am looking for something very primary and not Google Draw in the Google Suite.  Want students to create with drawing / paint tools, lines and shapes, fill bucket, stamps or adding images.

We use full size keyboards & mice and also large monitors - no touch screens.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Marni,

I've had a similar request for our SMART Panels (Android-based browser). I love using Alternative To for things like this.

I did a search for alternatives to Tux Paint and indicated free and online. It listed suggestions:

https://alternativeto.net/software/tux-paint/?license=free&platform=online

It suggested two that might be worth looking at:

• PixiPaint - https://www.danielx.net/pixel-editor/
• JS Paint - https://jspaint.app/

Have you looked at the Chromebook/Android app for TuxPaint?
