Learning programs for Kids

Go to the Ubuntu Software Center, Click on Education on the left side, and browse a list of educational programs. I have most of which installed ( specially the ones listed below)on my kids machine, and they love it.

• Educational suite GCompris
• Childsplay
• Primary Bundle

Edubuntu is the educational distribution of Ubuntu.

I would recommend using Edubuntu. You may do this by either downloading and installing the full distro, or getting any or all of the following packages(and recommends/dependencies thereof) and installing upon existing, well-customized (for stability, security, drivers, etc) Ubuntu installations, and removing previous desktop environment choices:

edubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-edu-preschool
ubuntu-edu-primary
ubuntu-edu-secondary
ubuntu-edu-tertiary

Or any other packages listed here.
