If you happen to have an iDevice, check out Tiny Piano: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id477014214

It's a fun and free app that helps kids appreciate music. Feel free to email me at ronyeh at squarepoet.com if you have any questions.

Awesome, my parents make my sister play piano but she "hates" it. I wonder if this will help, haha

I am one of the founders of kiddom, an interactive learning environment on the iPad. We initially focus on math skills, and all learning happens in a story telling environment. We should be live on the app store in about a week or so in the US:

www.poissonrouge.com is a fun, flash-based site.

I'd also recommend "Kid Mode) (aka Zoodles) as a fun website/android phone app.
