Hi,

I'm not sure that the click and drag paradigm for sizing shape is the easiest
for very young users. Even my girlfriend (27 years old) did not figure out on
the first attempt how to draw shapes. She was clicking and getting only small
dots on her canvas. After a while she got the "press button - drag - release
button" process; but I guess I can't blame her for not being too smart. Of
course she could have read more carefully the instructions stated on screen,
but well, A 4 year old cannot even read.

That is why I suggest an alternative way of implementing shapes sizing:

1. Full click (i.e. press and release mouse button) once for the center of your
   shape
2. Drag to choose the size of your shape
3. Full click when the size is good

Just my 2 cents.
