I think just letting them play with regular programs or kid versions is better than games. When i was a kid, i would use some kid version of Paint that had little clipart built in, and then i would just play around on word trying to make signs and pictures and junk.

I never got super into video games because my dexterity is crap at high speeds. But as i got into my teen years, my grandma who was super into photography gave me her old laptop. I was really into changing the color of pics, trying to give people makeup, etc. I also really like specific data software like RadarOmega.

In general, i would say try and get fun stuff that doesn't have the pressure of timers and points and game over screens until the kid is old enough to understand competition and games in real life.
