Just a quick reference:
 - http://gcompris.net site
 - has a mailing list (http://lists.ofset.org/arc/gcompris/)
 - and an irc channel (#irc on irc.freenode.net)

Generally, young kids need to learn using a mouse as a virtual hand. The
abstraction of interfacing to a computer is generally where we all
start. I would focus on the simple tools that get kids to map their
hands onto what the mouse is doing on the screen. 

>From there, using the keyboard as an interface would be next.

Once the kids can interact with the computer, then they can move onto
the more involved apps like memory games, puzzles, maths etc.
