Years ago I remember seeing a keyboard to fit over the normal computer keyboard........

for babies/toddlers to be able to "use" the computer.

I can't remember the exact details - but I think it had software with it too so that why they hit the keys on "their" keyboard things happened on the computer screen......

Does anyone know what I'm talking about - and if where I could get such a thing. Thinking (if it exists and I haven't just dreamt it up ) that it would be the ideal present for DS3 for Christmas - as he's taken to copying mummy - by climbing up on my computer chair and sitting "typing" on the keyboard.

I'm sure I remember the same thing. Don't know who made it or what it was called I'm afraid.

like this?
looks quite good

FAQ · 22/10/2008 05:21

yes! That's it thanks

Now I know there is something like that available I can have a look in Milton Keynes when I go shopping on Saturday - didn't want to spend half my time looking for something that doesn't exist

thanks Ihate - would rather get him one he can specifically play with where he's not going to be hitting the keys and potentially messing settings and stuff up on the computer - and I'm at a loss for what to buy him for Christmas (what do you get a boy who has everything he needs - and more - courtesy of having 2 older brother )

Old broken keyboards work fine, for this.

ihatemyjob · 22/10/2008 07:48

the whole point of the site is that they can't actually mess up any settings. All the keys only work for the website. Butif you are desperate to spend!

FAQ · 22/10/2008 07:50

yes but when he's combining hitting keys - with playing with my pink mouse........

And I NEED a Christmas present for him - he'll be 19 months by then - already he's hugely aware of his brothers having things.......when he doesn't - to not have something for him to eat the paper off, play with the box for 3 days would be horrendous.....

plus I have a row of little buttons at the top of my keyboard - which DO work while that website is open (as I just discovered through experimenting lol)

LoveMyGirls · 22/10/2008 07:58

[email protected] if you'd like to email me?

ihatemyjob · 22/10/2008 07:59

FAQ · 22/10/2008 08:05

lovemygirls - I'm going shopping on Saturday (childfree shopping in Milton Keynes - very excited about it) so will have a look and see what I find - if I don't find anything I'll email you about buying the one you have.

Thanks for the offer
