I agree that X10 can be and educational and useful pursuit for children (or 
anyone).
There's a local store that has a good assortment of X10 gear and knowledgeable 
staff. They even have wall sections that are open showing various cabling 
methods and demonstrating "smart house" technologies and networking.
They are: 
Hometech Solutions

10600 S De Anza Blvd
Cupertino, CA 95014
(408) 257-7152
I have no commercial affiliation with them. 
I know you are a San Francisco group and recognize that this store is about 35 
miles away but it may be of use; and they have a good web site.
