i-Wood.

This wooden laptop for kids is genius. At home, I can never really be on the computer when L. is around because he'll often do something like this fdhjsgkaslgfhrjgkfdgjdghfjdgkrgirialghrjavnfj or better yet, he'll hit the delete button and wipe out emails I didn't even get a chance to send. Yep, bright screens + keyboards = two things a toddler finds hard to resist. And although at his age I am not 100% convinced an i-wood would distract my son from hovering over me when I have the computer on, I do think the concept is a good one. Kids learn by watching us and love repeating what we do. Granted, I am not currently writing this post with a white chalk but if I were a kid I would surely have the imagination to think that it were possible. Especially with a magic chalk. With the i-wood you could almost say "computer time!", guilt free for while you'd be creating emails/blog posts/younameit, your kiddos would be creating their own imaginary stories through drawing.

  2. for sure the preschooler wouldn't have been swayed away from the real computer by this and I doubt the new bubba will either. BUT I LOVE it. What a delicious design.

  3. You have to get the book "It's a Book" by Lane Smith - hilarious (and also a bit scary!) x

  5. It is a great idea but part of me is not sure...maybe because I currently have a computer overdose ;)

  6. @Claudia - we got a plastic hand-me-down computer for toddlers which is nice but it has button and plays all sorts of very annoying sounds. This is definitely a better option (in my humble opinion). But I hear ya - although I like it I don't think i could go ahead and buy a fake laptop for my kid. it would just seem wrong. then again, i let L. play with my iPhone which is just as bad!
