Nursery Rhymes
Includes 14 charming baby-friendly keyboard tapping activities, carefully crafted through real-life research.
"Software for babies that lets little ones tap and touch the keys on any computer, and receive adorable on-screen feedback. Babies Just Love It!"
Fun & Bonding
Babies love touching the computer keyboard — NOW YOU CAN LET THEM! Each curious key press entertains your baby with delightful animations and cute, loveable animated characters. There are 14 adorable key tapping activities for you and baby to explore! Take a look!
Learning Through Play
Babies are comfortably introduced to the computer and learn cause-and-effect relationships while being exposed to letters, numbers, and colors as they tap the keys. Make up stories together and have fun! Babies learn best when they’re having fun! Our unique mousing system also lets them explore moving the mouse as they progress. Engage and enrich your baby through fun-filled learning — at their own pace.
Sound and Music
Includes more than 50 songs in 5 baby-fun categories. Nursery Rhymes also includes a "sing-a-long" mode for the rhymes that have accompanying songs, such as Mary Had A Little Lamb. Giggles Computer Funtime For Baby™ is also filled with fun sound effects, animal sounds, and adorable animal character voices.

Jack & Jill
This is the first of our multi-mode activities - it has both a baby-mode and a toddler-mode. Tap the keys to watch Jack & Jill climb the hill. Keep tapping to watch them fill buckets of water, and eventually your key taps make the chicken squawk and get bigger.

Little Miss Muffett
Another activity with baby-mode and toddler-mode, as well as 3 levels of rewards. All for just pressing any key!

Click the mouse to make the mushroom heads fly up into the air.
London Bridge
Includes baby-mode and toddler-mode. Three levels of rewards - tap the keys to make cars and buses drive by. Keep pressing to make the bridge begin to tumble down until it falls into the water. More presses make boats drive by until the final reward - the bridge springs back to life and reappears! Mouse clicks make clouds appear and float by.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
One of our favorites! Really really funny! Press the keys to make the lambs cross the screen to the farmer, he shaves them super-fast, wool flies in the air, and the naked lamb runs off the screen embarassed. Press the keys enough times and the farmer does a little dance!
Rock-A-By-Baby
Three levels of rewards entertain in this one also. Press any key and the birds fly up into the air, keep pressing and the cradles begin to rock. Press another key and the branches begin to break. But don't worry, as each breaks a bird flies over and catches each cradle. After all the branches have broken, from keys presses, the birds fly the cradles over to a new tree. Babies love the birdies, and they get all of those rewards just for tapping any key on the keyboard!
