Thanks, Dave. Great tips! We hadn't thought of talking to anyone in the game design industry. Great idea (and extremely relevant, yes). We have been looking at certain toys for interaction ideas, but clearly forgot about the people that design them. :)
I did a search for the conference and it's called "Interaction Design & Children" (IDC) for anyone who might be interested. Unfortunately, the most recent conference occurred on June 11 (and at my old university!). :( Thanks, though, for point us to it. Heading out to check out Leapfrog...
