Memorizing numbers and letters

Vowels are purple, consonants green…it is all playful and colourful but what is really the point? Okay, it may be a bit difficult for kids to start using a normal keyboard, but it is fun to be by their side and help them grasp the keys and find the various letters. Maybe this keyboard could be more useful to the poor-sighted. The colour-coded keys could help them find the letters. Shame though that the keys are so hard to use.

This fun keyboard is easy to handle for very young users and is designed for children from the age of 3. There are 63 big keys with bright colours instead of the traditional 103. The BlueStork BS-KB-KIDS will accompany children as they learn to use the computer.

This being said, let us not waste any time: this keyboard is not good. The only advantage of the bulky plastic is that it is solid. It is shockproof, but then again most keyboards are pretty resistant.

Let’s be babies and spill something over it!

With its build you would think that this keyboard is waterproof. The manufacturer does not underline this feature, but nevermind, we tried it out anyway. Well, it is not. The device did not die and once it dried out, it worked again, though it did go a bit mad at first.

The BlueStork BS-KB-KIDS is easy to wash and you can even take the keys out if you really need to give it a through cleaning.

The real problem here is the purpose of the product. Children do not like to be looked at as babies. They would rather have normal keyboard. And honestly, they can easily learn on a normal one without using a kiddie-one first.
