One idea worthy of consideration is a label which has no words. This
works very well for simple interactive elements. A pen and ink drawing
can illustrate very quickly the fundamental interaction between visitor
and apparatus. If this label is on a hinge or pivot you can have words
intended for the adult friend of the child underneath.
