We use ktouch. It is very plain and simple,  but kids enjoy it.

I think tuxpaint performs better when launched from within Gcompris. I
haven't tested it it, but I have the impression that several thin
clients can launch it more or less simultaneously without all the
waiting that you get when using it directly from the menu.

(I uninstalled the other tux programs. Just not worth all the frustration)
