This PC is ideal for teaching Toddlers critical thinking and problem solving.

The Little Tikes Young Explorer Station can teach your toddler to think critically and to learn to analyze and solve problems that come before them. And it’s very important for kids today to learn computers. As the old saying goes, you gotta get em young, but this fun station comes at a price.

These days, technology will be central to everyone’s life from their education to whatever career they end up with. Everything will have a computer chip in it. So it makes sense that if parents can immerse their kids into computers while they delve into playtime, they’ll be learning and not even know it.

The Young Explorer Station is ideal for that. It’s terminal style work station has built in mouse bads, a bench seat for two kids to work together, locking cabinet doors and castors to make it portable. Now onto the guts.

It’s powered by a Think Center PC with 1GB RAM, custom Little Tikes Keyboard, a smaller mouse for tiny hands, a19″ LCD monitor, and a 160GB hard drive. It runs Windows and is preloaded with fun educational software which runs games teaching Math, Science, and cognitive thinking games.

Ideal for ages 3-7, but it’s not cheap at $2600 plus $100 shipping. Ouch. Cool though.

Agree with you that kids need to learn about computer and at the same time building their problem solving skills.

But with the price tag, I believe most parents will opt for other reasonable price toys.
