I have two kids, 4 and 7. They have a lot of trouble even typing basic things, it is pretty frustrating for everyone. If you absolutely must do something on the computer, I'd recommend something that teaches the basic skills of typing and moving the mouse around to start before getting into more advanced things. My kids, for example, seem to enjoy just typing in a word processor and seeing their name show up or writing down secret codes or whatever.

I also have list of things that they want to do / ask for, they like checking out that list and editing it.
