My 17 month old daughter is fascinated with the computer and loves using the keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately she tends to mess up all the settings when she does. I was thinking of getting her some kind of console you can plug in to the TV for xmas. I wanted something with a proper keyboard and mouse. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Now, I do want to Brainstorm a little. If you shop around in Newspaper Classifieds you may be surprised what you can find for under $100 in real desktops. Something with Windows 98SE, 2000 or maybe XP. With some time she may do well. Many may think she young, but, if you take the time to work with her she may do well. The only problem I see would be she could make problems with a real computer. Example; Delete an important file or format the hard drive. LOL! With some of the more child friendly I not think there much to worry about other than how loud she can turn up the volume.

i'm hoping it is not taken the incorrect way, yet why do no longer you in easy terms study him a e book of numbers or alphabet. Or, for that remember, make flash enjoying cards? I hate it as quickly as I see questions approximately right here approximately human beings coaching their little ones colorations, numbers, interpreting, etc. by potential of using a working laptop or laptop. there's a time and place for each little thing, and training a youthful new child/infant a thank you to do those extreme issues isn't the interest of a working laptop or laptop...it relatively is the interest of a parent. I even have 2 toddlers, the oldest of that's 28 months. He can count extensive sort to 18 already, and do you comprehend how I taught him? Cheerios. i might line up such countless of them and count extensive sort, then he'd count extensive sort and consume them. it relatively is totally humorous becuase while they run out, he starts counting and pointing to the place they have been, yet there are no. I additionally taught him the common colorations (purple, blue, yellow, etc.) by potential of interpreting to him. no longer unavoidably books approximately colorations...merely any e book I take place to study to him (we study lots) I say, "look, there's a purple baloon!" For the reliable of your new child, save him faraway from the f*cking laptop. computers are for adults, no longer youthful, impressionable 4 twelve months previous toddlers whose mum and dad want a babysitter for some hours...

My son is the same, we bought him a little v-tech laptop that had a mouse attached and it was the best buy ever, he always plays with it and the great thing is he can bring it anywhere with him, we also bought him a v-tech keyboard that attaches to our pc and he can use it like a real keyboard. You should check out their web site on www.vtech.com, it's so handy as you can put in your childs age and it will show suitable products.. Hope this helps..
