• Childsplay is a suite of educational games for young children, like gcompris. Childsplay uses a plugin system for the games, so you might want to check the Childsplay plugins page. (There are two built-in games: memory and a typing game.)
• Etoys is a powerful script-based environment to learn science and math by encouraging exploration and experimentation

• KTouch is a program for learning how to touch-type. KTouch is FREE and offers you an easy way to learn to type quickly and correctly on a keyboard. Every finger has its place on the keyboard with associated keys to press. Starting with only a few keys to remember you will advance through different training levels while additional keys are introduced. As a result you will be able to type quickly and accurately. This is because you no longer need to search for the keys on the keyboard and because you will definitely be using more than just two fingers. KTouch indicates the keys you need to press and the finger you need to use for that key on the screen. You don’t have to look down on the keyboard to search for the key. You will therefore get used to looking at the screen only and hence learn touch typing much faster.
• Ktuberling is Mr. Potatohead for your PC
• Little Wizard is a development environment for children. It is intended to be used by primary school children to learn about the main elements of real computer languages.
