My best friend Mint, an early childhood teacher, sent me a link to a great online toddler game. Naturally, I tested it out on Ari immediately. It was a hit!
Moothergoose.com’s At the Seashore Tap & Type game is similar to Kneebouncers in that the player (your toddler) can press any key and not harm your computer.
In the tap and type game, whatever letter is pressed, a picture pops up with a word that starts with that particular letter. For example, if you press the letter “H” a helicopter appears:
When you press the letter “V,” a ship with “Vikings” comes up on the screen:
And there are corresponding sounds associated with each image. It is quite clever.
If you have a computer obsessed toddler, try out At the Seashore Tap & Type!
