A little something for that toddler techno-geek, a
Baby BlackBerry to call their own. I really don't have a problem with this so long as they're not using it during meetings and while driving.
Parents who want to stop their children from picking up and playing with their gadgets can now buy a child-friendly alternative for £19.99.
Dubbed the 'BlackBerry for babies' the 'Text and Learn' device from LeapFrog looks like an over-sized PDA and is designed for children as young as three-years-old.
The gadget helps youngsters learn how to 'browse' and 'text' without going online, allaying parental fears of their children being contacted by strangers or cyber-bullies.
The educational toy has a full qwerty keyboard and large LCD screen and allows children to send 'text messages' to a virtual puppy pal called Scout.
Although it doesn't connect to the Internet the gadget does have a pretend 'browser' mode.
My tot loves electronic gadgets such as the Leapster and his toy cell phones so a device such as this I have no qualms with it. Kids at 3 and 4 years old can already navigate around on PC's so it's not as if they won't find such a toy useful and educational.
