artPad is a quick and fun online painting program your kids (and you) may enjoy. You can create online digital images, save them, e-mail them to friends, or even “replay” your painting process as a video. You can paint with a virtual brush, add text, or “spash” paint from a bucket, Jackson-Pollack style.
If you have painting software at home, this may not be of interest (though you make like the video feature). Try it when you’re visiting someone, however, and need a fun indoor activity to keep your kids occupied for a while. It’s more creative than just watching TV.
