Keep your kid occupied with WPF

Scott Hanselman’s BabySmash is a WPF application design to keep your kid occupied at the computer. Random smacks on the keys create colored shapes, letters and numbers. The Windows Key, Ctrl-Esc and Alt-Tab keys are disabled so your baby can’t escape the application and make a mess of your system.
