WPF and creating a "endless" canvas

I am trying to make a small drawing program for small children. I am thinking on making a canvas, and allowing them to draw on it. But I do not want to specify a size, I want to zoom out and thus allow a "endless" piece of paper (using pan + zoom to navigate). but how do I do this, the canvas seems to have only a fixed size, and resizing it doesn't seem to work, How about the zoom, my drawings doesn't seem to be vector based, they are very "jagged" when zooming close.

Any other control that would be better?

Have a look at InkCanvas control, it gives you an area like a board where you may draw or handwrite; apart from this it provides various other features out of the box. You can easily find a sample for implementing zooming in InkCanvas. Some helpful links -
