Keyboard Pounder for babies/toddlers

[mdhkitten]

Hi everyone! I was just letting my 2 year old daughter plays (she's used it before she was one) with this keyboard pounder program, when it occured to me to share it with you guys that may not be aware of it. It's a free program that has two different scenes.........either fish swimming or butterflies and flowers. It plays classical music. When you start it your child can bang away on the keyboard and the mouse and the flower/butterflies or fish come up on the screen. It's pretty neat and free! Here's the link:

THANK YOU for this! When my first DD was little I had a pounder program on my Mac. Now that DD#2 is here and LOVES the computer, I couldn't find anything for her. She gets so frustrated that she can't make anything happen, this is perfect!

The program I used to have made "art" from hitting the keys - different colors and shapes would show up, and it was so cute. Anyone know anything like that available now?

Here's another one that I found that has the letters and numbers from the keys on your keyboard. Emily liked it, but liked the other better. I warn you that when it says to typed Maddie to end the program, you actually have to type it as shown.
