When I was a kid, I really liked computer games. Some of them were
educational, all of them were fun. I think making a live CD for kids where
fun themes (maybe popular cartoons?) and games are already installed would
be good.

Also, I don't know if it was just me, but I really liked drawing pictures
and making my own graphics. (I still do!) I would put the pictures I made on
invitations to a birthday party and just funny things I would make for my
parents. Gimp is a bit much to ask a 6 year old to deal with, we could make
sure they have simple drawing programs.

Also, we could work on the navigation. We want to make the games and
everything very easily accessible.

Those are my ideas, but I agree with everyone else who said we should talk
to some actual youngins. They could tell you their favorite cartoons,
favorite colors, and favorite hobbies which would help in the creation of
themes.
