A game called tuxmath comes to mind. It is nice game about basic math
operations. Also I have heard that tuxpaint and tuxtype are nice apps
for children.
gbrainy is also nice game but it may be too much for 4 year old kid.

You may want to install edubuntu-desktop package. It is a metapackage
which pulls in lot of applications targeted at children.

Cheers,
