That was brilliant, it helped his hand eye coordination. He had to work out how to move the cursor. He used it a lot when he got it. It was ideal as a beginner step before you move on.

Information

IT Mouse Skills is a great way for your child to learn how the mouse is used in conjunction with the keyboard. It is excellent for hand-eye coordination and mouse-targeting practice.

The software takes you through different skill levels in simple, clear stages. First of all you learn to move the mouse to the correct position on the screen, and then click features are introduced gradually. The step-by-step format makes the program easy to use, and allows you to build on learnt skills. It incorporates fun graphics and intuitive exercises, making it an entertaining as well as educational activity.

It's quite good but she gets quite bored with it now, it gets repetitive. It was really good in the beginning. She likes the sound effects, how it pops when you click on an item. It's pretty straight forward. You only have to show the child once or twice which is good if they have learning difficulties. It has actually improved her mouse skills. She can now click and drag at the same time.
