Can anyone recommend a toy laptop for a toddler? My 18mo is obsessed with mummy and daddy's laptops, I might get more peace if she has a pretend one of her own. I checked out Fisher Price and they don't have one, VTech have heaps but none suitable for under 3 years.

When I was a kid, we made toy computers out of cardboard boxes and sticky tape. Young people today... no imagination original.gif

Hi,
K-Mart have one advertised at the moment (I was in there today and they had one left) which is the V-Tech Sing and Learn Composer for $39.00, save $20. It is for 12 months+.
It looks like a laptop and opens the same way. Has activities they are developmentally appropriate on it, rather than keys and a screen though.
Was seriously considering it for DD but she wants the 'real deal' LOL.

Hoping for #2 (will this be our month? One BFP followed by a BFN.... AF 4 days late and counting...)

I so know where you are coming from. We looked at the v-tech sing and learn composer but it doesnt hold Aidens interest and there doesnt seem to be much else out there for under 3 yrs. We have even given him a spare keyboard but he still is more interested in the laptop. Hopefully someone will know of something !
