This smart play-space is a great addition to any home, daycare, library or classroom. For those needing additional storage you can add a Play Kit that fits right under the desktop on rails to create a handy drawer.  You can never have enough storage and this smart design is convenient and makes for quick cleanup.  That is always a good thing for parents and teachers. You can store learning materials, games, and supplies.

The versatility this desk offers will allow you to utilize it in virtually any environment.  Moving this desk around is easy and quick and this makes it simple to re-arrange when necessary.

Children’s Computer Desk | Children’s Table | A place for homework

Posted on January 27, 2010 by kidsdesk

Have you ever wished your child or student enjoyed doing their homework, research and projects?  Does homework get put off or delayed because there is just not a fun or ideal environment for them?   You can create this environment with a children’s computer desk or a children’s table with chair.  Creating a space designed and  designated for homework has shown to improve overall grades and performance with some students.

We received an email from a customer who purchased a desk for her grade school age daughter.  Before getting the desk she used to sit in the dining room which is adjacent to the living room and television.  Over time she realized that her daughter was getting distracted by the TV or conversations amongst the family.  She found the quality of her daughters homework suffered as a result.

She set out to create a work space for her daughter.  She purchased  a children’s table set and then set up a used PC with software that gave her full parental controls.  She outfitted it with the Kids Complete Starter Set which included a children’s keyboard and children’s computer mouse.  Her daughter was extremely excited and started looking forward to doing her homework again.  Throughout the rest of the year, her teachers took notice and her grades on homework greatly improved.  It is stories like these that make us realize how important it is to have a special place for your child to be able to focus and be free from distractions.

How can I make my laptop kid friendly?

Posted on January 27, 2010 by kidsdesk

Parents and teachers sometimes hesitate to share their laptops with curious young children because they are expensive and  fragile.  What if there was a way to make your laptop kid friendly?  You may not know this, but now it’s easier than ever to turn it into a fun, kid friendly laptop.

Most children’s keyboards and children’s computer mice now have USB connections that can easily be connected to create a learning station virtually anywhere.  One convenient and portable solution is a children’s headphone, they are perfect for language software and learning software applications.

When you are on the go, one helpful solution is to use a bag or backpack to bring along your children’s computer accessories.  This will provide flexibility and allow you to create a place for movies, games or homework around your busy schedule in any location.  This is perfect for travel when  you have to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances.

We have featured a few solutions below.  If you are interested in learning more, please visit www.KidsDesk.net.  Thank you for visiting the KidsDesk blog.

KidsDesk Gift Ideas

Posted on November 26, 2009 by kidsdesk

It’s time to kick off the Holiday Season and with so many gift ideas, we have put together some excellent and affordable ideas from KidsDesk. Whether you are looking for that perfect addition of children’s furniture for your childs bedroom, or you are looking for ideas to create a learning station at home, KidsDesk has solutions for you.

We have a large selection of children’s keyboards and children’s computer mice that are perfect for supplementing your exisiting laptop or desktop. All are Mac and PC compatible and make a great gift idea.

We also have a large selection of children’s desks that allow you to create an all important learning space in your home. We recently reached out to a few of our customers to get ideas on how they created their child’s home learning center. We found that everyone has a different situation and has gone about it in different ways. One mother we intereviewed, Sue P. from Washington State, decided to outfit her existing computer with a children’s keyboard and children’s mouse because she didn’t have the room for a separate children’s computer desk. She chose the My First Keyboard and Chester Mouse – one click mouse. Her children love having their very own keyboard and mouse and she said that both of her kids have benefited from the features that are designed specifically for children which have made it easier to learn to use a computer.

Another mother we intereviewed, Shawna from California, chose the Avalon Desk with Hutch in the honey. She decided to use her old desktop computer and she installed NetNanny parental control software which allowed her to fully control what her children were accessing online. Then she picked out the FunKeyboard FunMouse combo. These also have special features designed specifically to assist children that are learning to use the computer. 

Finally we intereviewed an owner of a daycare, Dawn from Oregon, who needed to replace her children’s table that she was using at her home daycare.  She decided to go with another children’s table the Avalon Table and Chair Set and she also selected six additional Avalon Chairs so other children could easily gather around when they were using learning software or playing free web children’s games.  The children now use it everyday.  “I really love the Avalon Table and Avalon Chairs I got for my daycare, they add color and when the kids first saw the new learning station, they were amazed and excited” 

We know you have alot of different gift ideas and we hope that some of the ideas we reviewed with mothers today have helped you create some ideas of your very own.  As always if you have any questions about any of the ideas here or if you would like some more information, please visit our homepage @ www.kidsdesk.net and contact customer care using the button located on the left side.  We are always happy to help.  Order early to ensure availability and holiday delivery.  Have a safe, happy, and wonderful holiday season with your children and family! – From the KidsDesk team

Children Learning at Home

Posted on November 15, 2009 by kidsdesk

When you set out to create a learning environment at home, it is important to find children’s furniture and technology that best fits your individual situation.  Consider a children’s desk or children’s table that is designed for age specific for your children.  You can customize a computer and create a learning station with educational tools like a children’s keyboard or a children’s mouse.

Whether you are a parent who home schools your children, or you just want to set your child up for success when doing their homework, consider your particular situation and then decide.

Here are a few things you can do and think about.  Analyze your current situation and determine your goals for learning at home.  You may have or know of an unused computer that you have considered setting up for your children.  This can be an excellent money saving alternative to buying a brand new computer and you can make it child friendly even on a budget.  When you can save and maximize the benefits these tools can provide, it can greatly benefit your child’s education and success.

If your children or students use educational media, you can select audio visual solutions to enhance their overall experience and create the classroom environment.  Students with special needs will benefit with solutions designed to assist and enhance learning at home.   If you liked this post, check out our website @ www.kidsdesk.net and find solutions that will help you enhance your child’s learning experience at home.
