Product Information

Kids as young as 3 years old can play with this set that comes with a to-go coffee cup, wooden laptop, a pretend headset, a play smartphone, and four fabric “apps” that can be attached to the computer screen for extra fun. For example, for babies and young toddlers, you don't want a toy laptop with small pieces or that's too advanced. If you're unsure of where to start when it comes to a laptop that's educational, remember you want a toy that matches your child's developmental abilities, but also teaches them new skills. First, check the manufacturer's age recommendation for the toy laptop, and then consider your own child's learning abilities. Read our editorial process to learn more about how we fact-check and keep our content accurate, reliable, and trustworthy.

While kids can (and likely will) grab for electronic devices as soon as they're able to, children under the age of 2 learn best from real-world experiences and interactions, so it's best to wait until they're about 3.

Equipped with two writing surfaces and five pieces of chalk, this compact toy laptop is great for traveling. It helps kids work on learning their numbers and letters, engage in pretend play, listen to fun songs, and more.It has four different modes, music, games, ABC, and messages, and it plays 16 different songs to keep kids very busy as they work.

These age recommendations can be a great starting point on where your child may be developmentally, but every child is different, so if you notice your child needs support in a certain area, tackle that first.
