I got "KidsTime" from Great Wave Software for my 3 year old.  She loved it.
It took her about 5 minutes to get the hang of the mouse.  There are about 7
games in the package, Matching, ABC's (with the MacinTalk driver will quiz on
the letters), Dot to Dot, Story teller, etc.  Well worth the money and one of
the better educational (for kids) programs.

There is a shareware game called "Dot to Dot" that allows you to construct your
own with any Paint picture, and letters or numbers.  If you are real interested,
I could post a binhex version.
