Have you been looking for an opportunity to introduce your toddler to a computer?

Do you want a resource that will adapt and change to the needs of your toddler as they grow and develop?
The "Next Generation" (NG) Comfy Easy PC Toddler Keyboard and Toddler Software may help answer these questions for you.
Highlights
Comfy products have been developed based on the "3C Developmental Cycle", created by the Comfy Pedagogial House (CPH):
According to The 3C Developmental cycle, providing toddlers with rich content will stimulate and challenge their natural born curiosity.
The specially designed keyboard enables the toddler to be in full control, mastering activities as the plot evolves, thereby improving their sense of self confidence. The 3C Developmental Cycle is processed over and over again as the toddler progresses further in the story.
Included in the Easy PC keyboard package is the software title, "First Steps", which is designed for 1 - 3 year old beginners.
The whole line of software is then available (each designed for a certain age and level, and based on a different topic), allowing you to choose software according to your toddler's level and interest.
The software for ages 1 - 3 in the beginners and intermediate levels include an internal sub-division for different interactivity levels, allowing the toddler to progress within the same software over time.
As each toddler grows and develops at a different pace, it is likely that a younger toddler may enjoy a more difficult level, or vice-versa. It is strongly recommend to let toddlers progress at their own pace. Some of the titles include a few sub-levels of difficulty, allowing the toddler to progress within the same title over time.
The Comfy Easy PC Toddler Keyboard is a toddler's first "play and learn" keyboard that enables your toddler to learn and play with their PC as early as 12 months.
Comfy's educational and entertaining platform opens up a whole new world of interactive experiences.
The unique keyboard with large colorful buttons and friendly animated characters inspires and motivates effective learning. The specially designed software offers various levels of developmental learning that grows with your child.
