Rocky's Boots was a good game. However, it's a *little* too advanced for a
1-year-old. I'd second the cardboard box + markers + old keyboard idea,
actually.
I also remember an article in an old Apple II magazine where somebody wrote a
program for his 1-year-old daughter that displayed a random full-screen color
and played a random tone whenever a key was pressed. A few hours' fiddling
with GTK+ or Xlib or (insert random toolkit here) should be sufficient to
reproduce something like that on a modern Unix box.
