I purchased my daughter when she was 16 months old, a Fisher-Price “Ready for School Toddler” computer program. I knew she was still a little young to be operating the computer but I thought she could just play around with the mouse and explore the pictures. Well, like I said she was a bit young. She really wasn’t able to control the mouse or understand any computer concepts until she was about 2 years of age. She started playing more and more with this program and learns how to control the mouse and play a few of the activities in Ready for School Toddler. Once she got the hang of it, it was very educational for her. There are a variety of activities. There is also a Level 1 being “EASY” and Lever 2 being “A LITTLE HARDER”.
