Years ago, before the web, I developed apps using something called NAPLPS, (a device independent SGML related markup language). One of the features of NAPLPS was the ability to encode and render vector graphics, fills, etc.. So, I wrote a program to run on my BBS called BPaint that was sort of an online canvas and people could doodle on and save the drawing, (these days you'd call it a virtual whiteboard)...

I can see something like this being more the way to go for kids. The program did have the ability to type in text, but it was mostly for labels or a few words in the drawing.

It could be done in SVG pretty easily.. there are probably scripts around like this already.
