If you're like me, then you have children who like to climb into your lap and press buttons on your computer. Their interest in technology is certainly something I want to encourage. I've tried V-Tech products and My First LeapPad, yet they still seem a bit advanced for my kids. Well, I have finally discovered an age-appropriate computer program for toddlers. It's called Clicktoy.

This is the first computer program I have found that successfully entertains children as young as 12 months. The creators refer to it as "a safe computer playpen." Essentially, the program opens a virtual 3D environment for kids that can be explored by pressing any key.

Note that last part... they can press any key, so you don't even have to worry about them accidentally exiting to the computer's desktop. Every button does something different, from interacting with characters to changing the weather.

Clicktoy will soon unveil many different worlds, though the first program is called The Meadow. That is the one my kids are engrossed with in the video below. I'm really impressed with the innovative design of Clicktoy, as well as the music and artwork. In fact, I wish I could move to The Meadow!


You can go here to purchase and instantly download Clicktoy's The Meadow. It's well worth the price, in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it!
