The big problems I saw were:

1. high mouse pressure
2. mouse rotation instead of sideways movement
3. accidental mouse rotation

I think the documentation should strongly suggest
that a smooth-sliding puck-based digitizer be used.
By "puck-based" I mean it looks like a mouse instead
of like a pen; a pen would quickly get destroyed.

As a less-expensive alternative, a trackball might
work OK. It will of course fill up with kid goo,
and the button placement is always awful.

Eliminating the scroll buttons might be good. Neither
my 3-year-old nor my 5-year-old uses them by choice.
(the 5-year-old knows the scroll wheel is broken in
the "Open" dialog) The 3-year-old quickly discovered
and liked the scroll wheel.
