After Googling for some time on this subject I've come to the realization
that I need some opinions. These's so much that's listed a freeware but is
really shareware or trialware, it's difficult to prune the list to anything
useful.

I have found a program called ChildsPlay, my 4 year old loves it. Are there
any more like it? Looking primarily for a collection of kids games,
preferably educational, for a 4-5 year old. His "new" computer is an old
200MHz Toshiba laptop that my office was not using with Win98SE on it.

TIA

IMO this site has some interesting looking Freeware apps (I haven't
tried them). (Click on the "English" links if you don't read Swedish).

including:
Sebran - helps your children learn letters, numbers, simple math, and
reading. Multilingual, freeware.
