This toy plugs into your computer and is used like a keyboard. Fine motor skills, social interaction and thinking skills are initiated through play and allow the child to use the computer with a keyboard designed for them. Manipulating the keys on the keyboard to activate the coresponding CD Rom fosters motor skills, cause and effect learning, following patterns, paying attention and repeat play. In our research we found that smaller children would push on the keys while older children used one finger to push the keys. Children age 1 1/2 and older picked up the phone when it rang for role playing conversations. The bright graphics and background music held the attention of all children that played with this toy. Playing the games on the CD Rom enhance language skills, cognitive thinking and social individual learning.
