This is the last week of school for my kids. I can’t believe summer time is already here!At first I thought I would never get used to having my oldest in kinder but now I don’t know what I am going to do with both kids home all the time!
I was recently introduced to a really unique program by Discovery Kids called Puterbugs. Discovery Kids Puterbugs is the only interactive class experience available that teaches children, in a fun and age-appropriate way, the full scope of technology skills in today’s digital world. In a safe environment that promotes a healthy foundation and proper tech etiquette, theprogram helps children master skills that range from basic file navigation, Internet, and keyboarding skills to an understanding of the latest technology, such as mobile apps and cloud computing!
Here are some of the features of the Puterbugs program:
* Keyboard Skills, Technology Terms & Usage
* Letter & Number Recognition, Reading Readiness
* Leadership & Teamwork Development
* 1 Laptop or 1 child taught by a certified instructor
* Exclusive Software Designed for Ages 3-7
* Alignment with the NETS (National Education Technology Standard)
I am constantly amazed at how my small children act like sponges when it comes to technology. My four year old can start a web browser, navigate to Netflix, find the kids section, and pick the exact show she wants. She learned all of this just by observing us interact with the computer. I love that Puterbugs is focused on teaching children practical computer skills in age appropriate ways. Puterbugs was geared especially for 3-7 years old. I also really like that Puterbugs was developed by Discovery Kids. Discovery is a brand I know and trust.
My local Puterbugs franchise(Phoenix Metro) is run by Mr. Ken, the owner of FutureKiddie.com. I have spoken with him and not only is he knowledgeable but you can tell he is really passionate about what he does. He really believes in what he does and I am so excited for my kids to take a Puterbugs course from him. I am also excited about the cool mom points I am going to get. My kids are going to be thrilled that they get to “play” on the computer once a week for four weeks.
Mr. Ken has generously offered TEN spots in a Puterbugs class for me to giveaway. I am so excited about this. You will get to choose which location and dates you would like to attend, subject to availability of course. Click HERE to see a list of current locations and course dates. This giveaway is open only to those in the Phoenix Metro area that are willing and able to attend.

I like that this program helps support literacy skills…we’ve been working on the alphabet and I’m sure this would really help.

I am hoping my 3yr old will get better recognition with her letters on the keyboard and my 5 year old will learn how to navigate through sites! Great idea and nice summer activity to get out of the heat!
Thie Family says
My oldest daughter is loving playing the games, she seems to like the purple keyboard castle the best!
