Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby - ABC's & 123's
© 2007 Leveractive, LLC
Here's good news for parents who have computers and keyboard-seeking toddlers under the same roof. This third edition of the Giggles: Computer Funtime for Baby (ABC's and 123's) contains more of the same highly responsive experiences, with five new music categories, 50 songs and 14 keyboard-tapping activities. The activities lock your computer so that curious babies can explore any key, providing a setting where children are informally exposed to letters and numbers. Big Letters & Numbers link letter keys with phrases such as "A is for Apple" or "H is for Hat". It will do the same if a number is pressed. Like others in the series, this is some good lapware, for parent and child to share together. Our tester, aged 26 months, enjoyed banging on the keyboard and got a kick out of seeing the different reactions that each bang caused. She also loved to sing along with the ABC Song. The two-CD Set includes both English and Spanish versions, as well as a Bonus Giggles Screensaver CD.
