I would put On/Off button, Volume control and Channel Change buttons. The buttons can be different these 3 things.(more pictorial kind of).

I am not UI designer, so this would be my best answer.

well, since it's for children under 6 yrs old, I would put 5 buttons there:
On, Off, V Up, V down, Channel Change.

And in "channel change", only channels for children are allowed (the channel can hard coded in the controller).

Cuz I am not grow up here, so I am not sure how many channels are suitable for children under 6, if only 3, then 3 button with the major cartoon charactor might be good as well (of course this can limit the extendability later when the kids are 7 yrs old:) ).

since a child cannot read things so instead of writing the things on the remote we can just use pictures instead of that. i mean to say that yes we can hard code the channel for the child if the first channel is cartoon network then at the first button we can just put the cartoon network logo to which the child can relate to. and yes don't keep more button as the child will become confused.

Great question. Remote for kid brings lot of initial questions in my mind before jumping into any solution or conclusion.

1) Why do we need a separate remote for kids. What is the use case?
2) How will they use it?
3) Who is it designed. End users (6 year old boy and girls)
4) Do we need some initial safety and security feature for monitoring purpose?

Based on that my remote control would have the following design choices

1) Kids are attached to fancy things. Fancy shapes like animal or any famous cartoon character as a base.
2) Colors matters a lot for kids at this age. Boys tend to get inclined to blue and girls to pink, so different color choices for the end target users
3) Now comes the basic features volume up and down, channel up and down.
4) Kids want remote because they prefer to watch kids channels. So option to create a channel list can be a preferred feature.
5) What if kids try to watch some adult channels? How do we restrict them from watching that? Option to have a parent controlled secret key would help.
