Finger Paint is an awesome finger painting application that is fun for kids and adults alike! You start off with a blank canvas, your imagination, and over 40 fun colors to choose from. Tapping on the pen icon will bring up the tools menu which lets you choose from small, medium, and large pen sizes. The paint brush tool is a new flood fill option, and the Bomb tool will clear your entire canvas to the selected color. And of course, the save button lets you save your drawing to your Photos. An added feature of this version now lets you share your photos after you save them.
