Kris, if you have LightRoom, you could establish a separate catalog for that and somehow I think that you underestimate your kids abilities. They could learn basic LR functions probably faster than I did (won't dare say "you did" :-) ).

When Galia started (though she was older) I instructed her to use the flag status to denote those that she did not like. It worked like a charm.

sounds. In any case I would like them to learn the basics as soon as possible.

Do any of you have any suggestions for some easy to use (not necessarily dumb) 
software that would let them download pictures and movies from the cameras, 
maybe assign some themes or something, delete the bad ones and maybe even 
upload some back to the camera?

They are 2.5 and 6 years old and they don't read English yet.
My ideal wishlist:

* customizable language (if it doesn't have Latvian I should be able to create 
a language file);
* automatic downloading of pictures/movies (deleting everything from the 
camera);
* soft-delete function so I can later go through the ones they think are bad 
and maybe do some corrections;
* assigning keywords or even key-pictures;
* easy to use controls for cropping and other adjustments, keeping the original 
intact;
* uploading back to camera (software should know which pictures it has already 
downloaded so we don't run into duplicates);
* maybe face recognition and automated keywording according to that ( must 
recognize cats :) ).
