Summary: Try First Byte


Our 2 year old enjoys pounding keys with First letters and
words by First Byte. It has several little games. One is
paint the dinosaur by using the mouse to select a color
when it tells you a body part. After the dinosaur is colored
it plays a song. Another is Magic letter machine. The kid
punches a letter, it is drawn in a box on the screen after
the magic letter machine munches on it a while and then
it says the letter and puts up a picture like...
"A is for apple".

My only criticism is that the action is a little slow for
the toddler age group. Of course at 2 years the kiddos need
supervision at the keyboard or as he calls it..
"Putkeys".
