Surf's Up: Ohdeedoh's Laptop for Kids

One of Olivia's new hobbies is climbing into our office chair to type away at the keyboard, just like mommy and daddy. We're hoping nothing goes terribly awry with our equipment, at the hacking of her tiny digits...

Ohdeedoh reports about laptop alternatives for kids. One mom made her son a Mac out of cardboard, and if you are the crafty type, you may get inspired by this laptop pillow and whip one up for your tot so you can surf away together... without worrying about spilled juice or system crashes. Both are great alternatives to buying plastic laptop toys that kids will most likely ditch in favor of the real thing.

My husband is a computer nerd and has access to discarded parts at his work. When our daughter started needing to write email with Mommy and Daddy he brought her home a real keyboard. She LOVES it and we recycled!

That is so cool, Kayla! Great way to justify the phrase: someone's trash is someone else's treasure!
