My kids are 4 and 2.

They play iPhone games for 20-30 mins a day, on average I would guess. Anything much more than that is beyond them. My 4 year old knows that she is allowed to spend as much time as she wants on the computer, if she is typing the alphabet or other words (not keyboard mashing) or drawing pictures in Paint and usually gets about 30 mins before she gets bored.

edit: like sclitheroe said, I try to encourage any computer use and for a while she was really into minecraft, but got frustrated with the controls, so it didnt last for more than a month or so. I think I might try and rekindle that spark and see if she has improved.
