Mario Paint is an excellent paint software. It allows you to draw, create custom stamps, make animations, and create musical scores. If creation isn't your thing, you can also play the fly swatting minigame.

If you have an interesting creation, feel free to send it, and I will put it in the screenshot gallery.
