Thanks for pointing out the Qimo project. I'd never heard of it before.

I downloaded it after reading the article. I booted it up and called my two year old son over to the computer. He saw the theme and got his smile when he sees a new toy that he likes and asked, "What's that?"

We played for a couple of hours. Each day he's been excited to play. This is a successful project.
