Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby - My Musical World
© 2009 Leveractive, LLC
Looking for a baby or toddler's ideal first computer experience? Available as a $20 download from www.giggles.net (think of it as an App for your computer), for Macintosh or Windows, Giggle's: Computer Funtime for Baby My Musical World expands on Leveractive's library of baby/toddler selections. This title, with a musical focus, succeeds in letting your busy child freely explore a standard mouse/keyboard interface, sans worry. But peace of mind isn't the only objective here. Two new play modes (play mode and music mode) let children explore real musical fundamentals, such as chords and a whole note scale, that has been mapped to your computer keyboard. A child can discover 16 activities with 80 songs featuring accurately sampled musical instruments. For example, in Note By Note, children's key presses are greeted by animated notation, appearing on a staff line. The best part about this title is the responsivity. Each key press -- accidental or on purpose -- is greeted with a bit of quality music. Additional content includes two videos, in either English and Spanish. If you share a home with a busy baby or toddler and a computer, this is an excellent addition to parenting toolkit.
