BabySplat
BabySplat is a free, open-source MS Windows program you can use to give your kids something to do when you step away from an unprotected computer.
Your kids can bang on the keyboard and as keys are pressed shapes and sounds appear on the screen which will (hopefully) safeguard other work you are doing on the computer, or at least distract them long enough for you to grab them away.
This program was inspired by Justin R. Cohen's BabySmash, written years ago for the Mac.
