Colors! might be a nice base for this activity.

In general, we should think hard about how to best distribute 'example
content', which you can open and remix on your XO.  From a UI
perspective, I've suggested previously that these be presented as
'friends' in the UI, who have files you can share.  The Red Cross
might be a friend who has some coloring books available you can open
in Colors! (or your choice of Paint programs).
