Your explorations after you do a few more could be written up, illustrated and output as a pdf for Gnu parents as a way to bring a child from 0 to newbie gnu user. Learning about what a computer is, how it works, ‘kicking the tires’ as they learn how to interact with a computer, how to learn by playing.
