LeapFrog has yet another wonderful, educational, fun toy to get your little one ready for the future.  The ClickStart My First Computer plugs into your television set and allows toddlers to begin to understand how to use a mouse and keyboard to navigate through screens.  The keyboard is brightly colored and mouse is child-sized, keeping your little one interested instead of frustrated trying to use equipment made for an adult.  There are four games built into the system and additional games may be purchased.  The additional games feature all of your children’s favorite characters, including Thomas the Train, Dora the Explorer and The Backyardigans, just to name a few.  It is a great way to get the kids interested in using the computer and the fun of technology.

Stats:

Recommended for children aged 3 to 6 years old

Includes wireless keyboard, plug and play console, mouse and mouse pad

Requires 4 “AA” batteries

What others are saying about the ClickStart My First Computer:

“We bought this for our 2 1/2 year old, because she kept wanting to play with our laptop computers. We figured this was a better option for her, so she would not break our laptops.  She loved it from the minute we hooked it up, and has played it everyday for the past three weeks. She has not gotten tired of it at all since the more you play the more  challenging the games get. We are still using the original set of batteries and the keyboard does actually turn itself off after 5 minutes of non-use.” by customer review at Amazon.com.

“This is an inexpensive way to duplicate the computer experience without having to worry about young children corrupting adult files or ruining an expensive keyboard and mouse.” by USA Today.
