I’m the proud mom of an pretty and intelligent little girl 19 months old. She’s used to the computer since birth, because I communicate with my family in Peru via webcam and she loves the keyboard.
Well, the thing is, that sometimes I leave the mac to go anywhere in the apartment and my lovely and informatic girl takes my seat and starts hitting the keys. So I went out there to search for something to entertain her. And I found some nice applications for mac.
Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby (for Mac and Windows, english and spanish) has three different themes: shapes, animals, and numbers & letters. There’s Baby Banger but it’s not universal since version 1.2.1 is from 2003. Also, there’s MiniKidsGames that freeware at sourceforge.net (if you like, yo can make a donation). And last but not least, there’s Baby Shield (only english).
UPDATE 29/Feb/2008: I found AlphaBaby. Lots of fun. There's also Baby Safe, has a 15-day-trial and cost $20. In Pure Mac : Kids you can find a list with more software for kids.
PS: the new iMacs are already out, as well as iLife ’08 that is €79 and includes iPhoto, iWeb, iMovie, iDVD and Garage Band. Also “.mac” has been upgraded with 10 times more space and lots of nice features integrated with iLife. For what I saw, iWeb ’08 is more powerful and rocks.
