    Parenting 1.01. Completely free. Small kids have a habit of clicking randomly on anything which usually defeats such software as it works mainly on keywords and submitted sites.

    The internet is hardly the place you want to be having a 5 year old use unsupervised.

    If you're going to be using the PC as a babysitter, it'll end in grief.

    Best thing to do is download and install Tuxpaint and the stamps, fire it up in fullscreen and let them loose with it.
