  • 06/01/02

KidzMouse has the answer for educators looking for a kid-friendly computer mouse offering features that make computers more accessible and enjoyable for young users, from toddlers to preteens. Available in four colorful characters - MollyMouse, BenjieBee, CoolBug and MarinaBug - KidzMouse is ideally suited for a child's hand.

The mouse is about half the size of a conventional mouse and features a rounded shape that better fits growing hands. In addition, KidzMouse features a squeezable head that covers the front third of the device, allowing it to be activated when children squeeze anywhere on the head. The KidzMouse products are compatible with both PCs and Macs. The company plans to release other animal designs in the future. KidzMouse Inc., San Mateo, CA, (888) 503-KIDZ, www.kidzmouse.com.
