We have one Little Tikes Young Explorer computer, and it is a standalone - it comes with everything you need (computer, mouse, keyboard, bench w/ storage space, and "frame").And it comes with 5 games preloaded. All you need is a power outlet. We saw these first at Taylor Public Library. I'm sure they can tell you more since they've had theirs longer (they have 2). We just got ours this year, but it does get used quite often. The kids seem to enjoy it - it's just their size..something made just for them.

We have a library that is considering computers for children (younger than 6th grade), but doesn't feel comfortable having children unsupervised on real computers. There was an excellent article touching on this last Sunday in the Austin American Statesman: http://www.statesman.com/life/content/life/stories/other/2009/08/23/0823 gadget.html But the computer it suggests for young users, PeeWee PC Pivot Tablet Laptop, is $500. Little Tikes products have also been suggested. I'm new at this -- could you folks share with the list computer ideas that have worked well in children's areas?
