Imaginative Play

Posted on March 7, 2010 by kidsdesk

It is very important for children of all ages to use their imagination while playing alone or with other children.  Think back on your own childhood.  We played with dolls that didn’t walk and talk and cars that didn’t have sirens or horns. We used our imagination to play with all of our toys.  In today’s technology drive world, it can sometimes be challenging to find toys for our children that don’t require batteries!

Get your children’s creative juices flowing and encourage imaginative play.  It is a crucial time to develop these skills. Having toys that encourage hands-on play can be helpful.  Is your child going to be the next Van Gogh?  Your little artist needs a canvas. 

The Clamp On Paper Center can turn any table into an art center!  Going to Grandma’s for the weekend?  No problem!  This can easily be removed from your table and attached to a table at Grandma’s so the masterpieces can continue to be made!

How do I hook up a children’s keyboard?

Posted on February 23, 2010 by kidsdesk

We received a question from a customer last week who asked how they could hook up a children’s keyboard and still use the standard keyboard.  The solution is easier than you might think, you can do this with most computers if they have a free USB port.  Most computers will detect the new children’s keyboard and the exisiting keyboard can stay in place if needed.  This is an ideal solution to creating a kid friendly computing experience & also keeping in place the existing keyboard.

Children’s keyboards have become common place in many classrooms and learning centers across the country.  They prevent the development of bad computing habits and provide many benefits to children that are  starting to use a computer and learning to type.  The best part, now these benefits are available for your home,  day care, learning center, classroom or library by adding a kids keyboard.

If you have a question or you think we can help you, please contact our customer care team and we will be happy to assist you and find solutions that meet your specific needs. 

Are you interested in gettting a children’s keyboard for your computer or laptop?  Come see the keyboards offered by KidsDesk, please visit http://www.kidsdesk.net/Kids_Keyboards_and_Childrens_Keyboards_s/72.htm!  Have a wonderful week and thank you for visiting our blog.

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.

If you are interested in learning more about solutions we offer, please visit us www.kidsdesk.net.  We offer a large and ever-growing solutions that will fit your needs.  Thank you for visiting the KidsDesk Blog.  Please bookmark us and visit again soon.

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.
