Easy Graphics on a form - kids app

Richard.Berry100 asked:

Hello

I'm busy with a little app for my kiddie to practice math. I'm doing ok with generating some simple add and subtract sums, but the user interface is so not funky or appealing to a kid.

Using VS2010, vb.net, Windows Forms Application - I'm not familiar with much else than this - so guess best to stick with what I know

Any ideas on backgrounds, cool ways to display scores, animations, sounds etc that are easily implemented would be much appreciated (more by my son than me :))

Thanks

Richard
