    There are some software out that create maps based on your input and/or you place landmarks and so on by pointing and clicking but even those require quite a bit of learning to really use as far as I know.

    You might like something like ViewingDale or it's free Instant Islands. That software was created by a developer who is one of our members, Redrobes. You might contact him either through this site or his website if you have any questions. (Note: you need 5 posts here before you can send an instant message.

    Another member of ours (goes by Waldonrate) created Wilber which does some cool erosion effects and stuff but I don't think it's something you can pick up in five minutes so that might be a bit hard for kids to enjoy.

    There is also Profantasy's Fractal Terrains but you have to buy that and I don't think it's super easy but I could be wrong. There are others as well but I'm not up on what all of them can do since I just draw and digitally paint my own.

    Hopefully, someone here will know more about these things and If you are looking for something more real world I'm guessing Hai-Etlik might come up with something.

    I hope you find what you are looking for.


    edit: I keep thinking of more
