This tiny laptop computer created for younger minds features 50 different activities that teach science, creative logic, language, math and more! By showing lessons through interesting facts and activities the Vtech – Nitro Junior Notebook encourages learning in a more gentle and some might say sneaky way

As most of you know I try to stay away from big brand names when I scout out cool toys for kids; however, there are occasions when the value of a toy far outweighs the fact that it’s a big brand name toy and such is the case with the Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School. This amazing set caught my eye initially when I saw it on Amazon for almost half price! This set comes with a kid friendly keyboard, writing tablet, stylus pen, and software which will help your preschoolers as well as your learning disabled children learn skills they need for school! Each software that comes with and can be purchased for this system has five different learning centers and

one field trip activity. Learning centers include reading, writing, math, art / music and science. Each software allows children to print out reward certificates and supplemental worksheet activities. This system is fast and easy to hook up to your home PC, using a USB cable and the games are easy to use with simple walk through instructions by friendly cartoon characters. The Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School is recommended for children ages 3yrs+. You can find the Fisher Price Fun 2 Learn Computer Cool School over at Amazon.com for almost half of it’s original price or you can check your local Target store; however, keep in mind that this system costs you almost $20 extra at Target! |
