Rub a Dub
Teach kids to mouse with this fun art application! Beginning

drag". This fun little coloring book is designed
with the tiniest tykes in mind. Kids can color pictures
by dragging the mouse over them. The rubbing reveals
colorful surprises underneath the black and white features!
BlockCAD
A freeware program for building virtual models with Lego-like
bricks.
You can save your models, or save pictures of them (.bmp,
.jpg), even reuse a complete model as a part in another
model. Everything can be controlled with the mouse, but
it's also possible to use the keyboard for most of the
commands, making 'routine building' more effective, and
there is a minimum of text involved, to make it easier
for kids.
