Secret Maryo Chronicles has been around for quite some time. http://www.secretmaryo.org/

My kid (5 years old) start to create it own level with Secret Maryo Chronicles ( http://www.secretmaryo.org/ )
He is creating a lots of level. Now the mouse, keyboard has no secret for him. He is selecting multiple object, copy/paste and move them around. He also learn to save often in case of a crash... Or when he pasted ~12000 life and overkill the system. He learn to take stuff from pre-made level to create his own. He figure out by himself to change the path of the element to modify the images. He wanted me to change few items colors... But when he ask me to create more enemies I told him to go to school so he can learn!

But three years old is a bit young for the computer... And some key shortcut are nasty and they can click everywhere...
Give your kid a IPod to play with, touch pad will probably be the future peripheral. You might see a video of it own.

Battle for Wesnoth is too good of a game.

Really, nothing made by volunteers has any right to be this good.

On other news, my five year old kid is experiencing the wonders of classic 2D platform games just like I did at his age.

Many of the open source Linux games also have pretty good Windows ports:

Take a look for "Linux Game" sites and follow the links to the homepage of the games. Most times the Windows ports will be included. Here's a few good examples:
At getdeb.net you can get Super Methane Brothers. If you go to the homepage of Super Methane Brothers you find a Windows Exe.
You can take a look at LinuxGames, playubuntu.com and probably find more via Google.
Games that I would recommend specifically:
Tux Math Command
gridwars 2
OpenAlchemist
Hedgewars
Game Maker
Frets on Fire

Perhaps you could stop with the "No games for Linux" BS already as you obviously have your head up your ass.

No, not entirely. It's the PC gaming business that they say is suffering, not PC gaming. There are plenty of games that are free from the onset that are fun. http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/
