Peter (and all other interested parties):

There is a company called:  "Nordic Software" that does make educational
software for all age groups (even as young as 3 years old).  I got a brochure
from them several months ago, but unfortunately I threw it out. 

If anyone else knows of this company, maybe they can post the address and
phone number to the net.  If not, you can look through the advertisers' index
in the back of an old MacUser magazine and see if it's listed there.
Failing that, you could try calling MacUser (or MacWorld) and ask their staff
if they have any info on this company.

I hope this will help steer you (and all others with Macs and small children)
in the right direction.
