Toddler Typer 1.0

Toddler Typer is designed to provide a safe environment for young children to explore the keyboard and mouse!

Let`s back up.... My daughter is 20 months old. She loves to run into my office when I`m working and bang on the keyboard. I always worried that she would erase my work, delete files, or cause other sorts of havoc through her shenanigans. She`s an expert at blindly finding key combinations that launch preference panels and other features that I never have seen before. But she`s so sweet... how could I resist?

So, I built this app so that there would be a safe environment for her to play with the keyboard and mouse. She loves animals and loves singing Old McDonald, so I started the project with an animal theme.

The instructions are simple:
1. Launch the app and wait until it says "Loading complete".
2. Press keys and/or click the mouse.

The A-Z keys will show animals with names that begin with the corresponding letter. Upon pressing a key, the noise that the animal makes will play. Pressing almost any other key* on the keyboard will randomly select one of the animals.

The name of the animal is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Clicking the mouse will place a small toddler-like figure on the screen that will walk in a random direction. You can press the mouse multiple times to have multiple figures on the screen.

That`s it! It`s pretty simple.

Planned updates will add images for numbers and additional photo sets, such as food items, vehicles, space images, and more.

DISCLAIMER: Toddlers can be aggressive! This app should only be used by a toddler under direct adult supervision, else you may find keys missing from your keyboard.

Recommended for children aged 12 months and up.

* Several of the function keys will continue to perform their designated function: brightness, music controls, and the Launchpad key (on newer and extended keyboard). I was unable to disable these, unfortunately.
