Little Keys' photostream

Little Keys is a local art project-meets-computer game created for wee ones. Using recycled keyboards, Little Keys allows toddlers and little kids to bang away on brightly colored keys to create playful patterns of letters, numbers, and shapes. Kids can—and should—go wild on the keyboards, custom painted with non-toxic, kid-safe paint. The more key mashing, the better! Or, if you prefer, you can opt for the software only. Either way, it's as simple as launching the application and plugging in your new kid-safe keyboard. And by the way,we've tailored the keyboards so no key combo quits the app, so you don't have to worry about your little computer whiz accidentally deleting your address book.

Little Keys is brought to you by a group of Brooklynites working at digital agencies around NYC inspired to help little kids explore computers in fun and safe way (for parent, child & computer!). The kicker? They got to re-use hardware that would otherwise be thrown away.

Mac and PC compatible.
