Software for babies? We kid you not. Baby ROM is lap-ware designed for you and your baby to play together. And as your baby grows, this CD-ROM offers charming new ways for your child to explore numbers, letters, shapes, and colors.
Start your littlest one in "BabyTalk," a kind of interactive board-book filled with pictures of other babies. Touching any keyboard key fills the screen with a video of a baby laughing, crying, giggling or eating. As your child gains hand-eye coordination, you'll find activities that introduce numbers (find the key that corresponds to the number on the screen), letters (press the L key and see a picture-book illustration of a lawnmower or a lemon), and body parts (click on a little boy's nose and watch it lengthen like Pinocchio's).
Because Baby ROM has three levels of play, children can continue to play it up through the ages of 3 or 4. But even when your child takes over the mouse, parents should stay close. Like reading a book together, what happens between you and your child at the computer is just as important as what they see on the screen.
