Pictobaby is a reading game that employs the technology of the Makey Makey to teach kids how to read and recognize everyday words. It's easy to set up and even easier to play!
The Makey Makey connects to any laptop
and acts like your keyboard. The only difference is that
it can recieve input from... two pieces of Play-Doh!
Your
child sees an image and two words, colored differently, on the
computer screen. In front of them is the Makey Makey, attached
to which are two pieces of Play-Doh, in corresponding colors to
the words on screen. Only one word matches the image, and your child selects which
one they think it is by pressing the piece of Play-Doh that
corresponds to their answer. It's as easy as that!
