Sit down with your child and show her what keyboarding is. Have her sit on your lap or next to you and have her watch you type. Many children learn by example and through imitating their parents, according to Dr. Benjamin Spock. Just seeing you use the keyboard will probably cause your child to become inquisitive and make them want to learn.
Buy a toddler keyboard for your child to practice on. Show your child which keys to place her fingers on and which finger to use to press the space bar. Have your child start by practicing typing their name and any other words they may know how to spell. Most toddler keyboards have smaller keys to better suit a child's hands and fingers. They also have color-coded keys for easier instruction. Your child can either practice with the keyboard hooked up to the computer's USB port or while the keyboard is disconnected from the computer.
Visit websites like LearningGamesforKids.com and BBC.co.uk Dance Mat, where your toddler can play typing games. Both websites feature animated, brightly colored introductory keyboarding games that should captivate your child and make learning how to keyboard, fun. The websites feature a wide range of games that your child can play as she advances and improves her skills.
