As a very long time Mac user I’m particular about the care I give a Mac. No scratches, dings, dents, scrapes, and definitely no peanut butter and jelly on the keyboard.
I have three children, all pre-kindergarten age. They love mommy’s Mac. And they love peanut butter and jelly. And Jell-o. And graham crackers. So, what’s the best way to teach children how to use a Mac? Start with the mouse (because keeping them away from the keyboard is priceless).
KidsMouse is one of those little Mac applications that does more.... (excerpted).

As a little kid I learned to use a mouse playing Cosmic Osmo back in the day. My parents say I didn’t get the idea of what a mouse was until I played Osmo. I don’t know, ‘cause I was only two at the time! On Wikipedia
