My 2 youngest are pre-school kids (age 3 and 4), and I use LTSP here at
home.  The littlest ones have ICEWM with Child's Play, Frozen Bubble,
Tux Paint and Firefox in the toolbar.  They have no problem picking out
which one they want to play.  As for the Internet, I put together their
own start page.  You can see it at
http://gentgeen.homelinux.org/kids.html   I also did some things within
ICEWM to make it easier to use Firefox (No minimize button for example).
 I would be happy to share the kids ~/.icewm/  folder for some of the
other changes I did.
