Dada DaVinci offers the beauty of classical
and impressionist art to stimulate your child's interest in learning
language. It also uses classical masterpieces, including Mozart, to
entice your child to learn while playing. All the child has to do to
go from one picture to the next is to click anywhere on the keyboard or
mouse. It teaches over 200 words and you can select to randomly
display them or according to categories that include: parts of body,
parts of face, hand, colors, shapes, numbers, animals, fruit, and other
items as well.
Originally developed by a
pediatrician for his family, it is surprisingly creative and of high
quality. Exiting the program requires CTL/ ALT/ DELETE key
combination, but other than that, it seems to run quite smoothly. It is
certainly one of the most beautiful children's programs I have come across
and this pediatrician has reported that many clients of his who have
children within the autism spectrum have benefited from this program and
encouraged him to market it. In
addition to all these other wonderful features, Dada DaVinci can teach
words in up to eight languages: English, French, Spanish, German,
Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and Taiwanese. A unique feature is that
it can teach words two or more languages simultaneously - a tremendous
benefit for bilingual families!
With Dada DaVinci,
the parent can set the game to parent mode so the parent can play along
and decide which games to play next.
It also includes a
library section discussing

How Dada Da Vinci
Works
It can be independently operated
by your toddler once the "button pushing" stage his begun.
You know your toddler has reached this stage when your toddler discovers
the fascination of turning your television or lights on and off, over and
over again. By clicking on any of the keys on the keyboard your toddler
navigates through the images and sounds. All your toddler needs from
you is to turn on the computer, load and select the desired language(s)
for your child.
Because it was
designed for the independently curious one year old toddler, the computer
and keyboard should be maintained on a table that will allow your toddler
to easily reach the keyboard and see the monitor. This may mean
dedicating a computer just for your child. Your child will be
fascinated by the voices, the music and the images that will flash by with
each of his activating key clicks. It i
 It
is designed to be your child's first independently functioning computer
learning game.
