JacksonPollock is a flash-based website where kids can enjoy mimicking paint splatters, drips, and lines, or they can fill the whole page with color. The website replicates the effect of throwing paint on a canvas, allowing your kids to create beautiful abstract pieces of art.

The website opens with a blank page and provides no instructions, allowing them to learn on their own. But, as soon as the cursor is over the page, your children will immediately see a splash of color. Changing colors or erasing the page just requires users to play around with the mouse and they'll have it figured out in no time.

When you're a child and you develop an interest in drawing, one of the first steps in learning how to draw is to draw a stickman. This website has introduced a new, interactive twist to the traditional stickman drawing.

Once the stickman is drawn and you click Done, the stickman starts moving and narrates a game with a story, and also provides instructions on other items to draw. There are different episodes included in the game, and in order to access their second episode, users have to complete the first game.

It's a simple drawing game and each game will be fun and easy enough for your kids to complete.
