I stopped telling clients that about two years ago. Have you watched a child interact with the web? First graders have a far better and deeper understanding of how our technology works than most adults in the United States. Why dumb down the UI for a child? Why not assume they can understand and interact with an application in a superior fashion than most adults the user interface and experience would be so intuitive that a child could interact with it.

To use this UI, it assumes you are of an age to read and write — I think that is the age at which I used to tell clients that I design sites so that a 3rd grader could use it.
