OK I had fun with this with my young one, but why is it so hard to start with a blank canvas? Can't figure out how to start with a blank slate.
But even more annoying is that it uses localStorage for what you've created. To completely start over, I had to run localStorage.clear(); in the console.
This is a lot of fun, but a couple of small tweaks would make it a lot better (or easier to figure out).
The nostalgia of the explosion is too much for me this morning.
I remember everyone in the computer lab always never actually drawing stuff and mostly just clicking the dynamite to get as many explosions on the screen as possible.
I recall the speed of the explosions being CPU dependent. When we got a new family computer in the late '90s I recall the explosion going from taking several seconds to happening almost instantly. 7 year old me thought this was hilarious for some reason.
Same experience as winning Windows Solitaire on a Pentium for the first time and watching the cards instantly fall to the bottom. I was considerably older than 7 at the time and I still laughed.
Not sure if it is a bug or intentional - If you dynamite, ctrl, dynamite, ctrl quickly so that both animations are still going the screen still clears.

gotta hit the eraser and use the dynamite!
But I guess if you hadn't used kid pix you might not know that.

oh no!
yeah, I don't remember the stamps repeating as quickly on the original but otherwise this seems pretty right on.
Was there any other use for Kid Pix? I thought that was all there was to do back when I was in elementary school.
unfortunately I can't seem to freeze the dynamite.
yeah I seem to remember being able to make it stay on the screen if you start another action.
[edit] - Give it a try now; press ctrl during the animation to stop it.

WHEEEE!
