Amazon.com Product Description
The LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer introduces tots to the wonders of the PC and helps them learn basic computer skills. Ideal for ages three through six, this interactive toy plugs right into the television and teaches youngsters how to use a mouse and keyboard.

A Child-Friendly Design
The ClickStart features a child-friendly wireless keyboard, plug and play console, and a child-sized mouse with a right- or-left-handed adjustable mouse pad. It transforms the TV into a PC, which allows kids to work on a big screen and the whole family to join in on the fun. The miniature mouse is perfectly formed for little fingers to point and click. Large, colored buttons make it easy for kids to learn basic keystrokes, and four friendly games create a safe, age-appropriate environment to navigate. ClickStart is built to withstand rough toddler handling, a plus for parents who want to spare their high-end desktops from child's play. And the wireless keyboard is light and convenient to transport from place to place, so kids can bring the fun with them wherever they go.

Encourages Age-Appropriate Learning
It is never too early to teach children the correct way to use a computer. The ClickStart ensures that a child's first computing experience is age appropriate and pleasant, with engaging games that not only enhance basic computer skills, but prepare children for pre-school and kindergarten. This educational tool has four games that teach phonics, letters, animal facts, and counting, while sharpening a child's screen navigation skills. Friendly puppy Scout guides kids through keyboard functions and allows them to work at their own pace. Techno tots can click on a faux in-box to receive their first e-mail; it even has sound for nonreaders. Should the youngster ever become stumped, a hint button gives them a clue. Additional ClickStart software packages, sold separately, feature well-known characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Dora the Explorer, and Nemo.

What's in the Box
Wireless keyboard, plug and play console, mouse and mouse pad, 4 learning games, and 4 AA batteries.

Customer Reviews

Not for a 5 year old
We received clickstart as a birthday present when my son was 4. It was a great gift and he enjoyed the games. The mouse is the perfect size for their little hands and he has learned a lot of hand/eye coordination skills from clickstart. However, over the last couple of weeks he has expressed that he's bored with it and he's not challenged by the games. My son just turned 5 last week. So I recommend clickstart for 3-4 year olds but might suggest you look at other "gaming" options like the Leapster if you have a 5 year old.

Doesn't work
Both my sister and I received this toy as a gift for our 3 year old daughters. I tried getting mine to work and my sister tried getting hers to work but they never work. The mouse movement is very sporadic. My sister said hers does the same thing. Waste of money

Could have paid less at Target
I recently bought this for a xmas gift at the price of $45 - normally priced at $60. Only a week or 2 later, Target had this same gift on sale for $40 plus you could use their toybook coupon of $10 making the final price $30. Needless to say I was disappointed that I jumped on this deal too soon to only realize I could have gotten a better deal elsewhere. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Shipping was fast and the product looks great - just wish I could have saved myself the extra $15.
