The Comfy Keyboard and software has been created and designed by a pedagogical research and development team that specializes in technology media to suit the capabilities and interests of children between the ages of 1 to 5 and their learning stage of development.

Playing in Comfy’s interactive environment will provide your child with the following:

• Learning through play and exploration.
• Acquiring basic computer skills.
• Developing motor and sensory, language, cognitive, emotional, and social skills.

The following qualities make Comfy's approach unique and well suited to attaining its educational goals:

• The activities are an interactive combination of stories, animated movies, viewing pictures and color painting, hearing music and singing songs, motor activities and exposure to social concepts.
• The Comfy Keyboard replaces the standard keyboard and mouse. Each key is colorful and easy to use. No reading or writing skills are required.
• Comfy activities are age-appropriate and the characters and objects participating in the story are amiable and amusing.
• Once the level is adapted to your child's learning stage of development and the activity begins, your child can play without parental assistance. The computer characters talk to your child and explain what to do at every stage in the activity. Each explanation is accompanied by a variety of illustrated graphics and animations.

Motor and Sensory Skills

As children grow, their physical and mental skills develop, enabling them to perform more complex tasks. Your child learns to identify objects and characters, correctly interpret stimuli from immediate surroundings and develop the senses.

When playing with Comfy, your child learns to:

• Correlate between the objects and characters he or she sees on the screen with those on the Comfy Keyboard.
• Improve visual perception by distinguishing between different shapes and colors.
• Improve hearing perception.

Language Skills

Children's vocabulary is constantly expanding as they learn to construct sentences.

With Comfy, your child can:

• Learn how to phrase questions, requests, warnings and instructional sentences.
• Gain knowledge of new concepts pertaining to specific topics such as the weather, mail and time.

Thinking Skills

Children's memory capacity is gradually enhanced enabling them to remember more and more pictures, voices and experiences. In addition, their imagination develops and improves their creative thinking skills.

Playing with Comfy can help your child to:

• Enhance understanding of cause and effect relationships by allowing the child to intervene in an evolving story and cause changes to take place (e.g., make it rain, change day to night).
• Practice remembering objects, sounds, voices, events and characters throughout an activity.
• Develop his/her imagination by participating in the story's plot and influencing it as desired while enhancing creative skills.
• Participate in "make-believe play" with characters to learn from them about the real world they live in.
• Learn to concentrate and apply mental effort by performing challenging tasks.

Main Characters:

Comfy: Comfy is an average, happy and friendly boy of about six years of age. Being the only human figure, kids tend to sympathize with him the most. With his red hair and sparkling eyes, what he loves most is to hang around with his best friends from Comfyland.

Jumpy: Jumpy is a mischievous, agile little dog. He is the only Comfyland character who isn't very kindhearted. He likes to play pranks and fool around. He lets himself get away with more than the others do, he's short-tempered when he asks the children to do something and when he's angry, he lets everyone know it. Jumpy likes to spend his time in the garden, caring for the flowers and vegetable beds.

Feely: Feely the elephant is full-bodied and jolly, and therefore appears warm and affectionate. When she hugs someone, it is not in pretense, but with genuine feeling, since she really is fond of everyone. In short, all who come to her will find an attentive and sympathetic ear. A painter by profession, she is a true artist at heart, and as such tends to be somewhat melodramatic and absent-minded.

Snaily: Snaily the snail, the most diminutive character in Comfyland, is the youngest kid in the neighborhood. Being young, he is also naive, easily frightened and sweet. He is also bashful and innocent. Whenever he's frightened or embarrassed, he shrinks into his shell. This shell also serves as a neverending storehouse of odds and ends. Snaily works as a mailman, where his characteristics suit him for this job: he is a hard worker and punctual, even though time is never on his side.

Buddy: Buddy the Bear is the blockhead of the bunch, full of scholarly wisdom that he often uses where common sense and intuition would be more appropriate. Buddy thinks of himself as the smartest of the gang, to whom all should turn for advice and whose counsel all should heed. Feely is the only one that Buddy doesn't patronize because he admires her inventiveness and creativity. Buddy is characteristically arrogant and clumsy.

Other Characters:

Didi: It's easy to make friends with Didi. She's a sweet, fun-loving three-year-old who's busy discovering the world around her.

Yoki: Didi's pet kitten is a naive, playful little ball of fur. In his spirited romping and frolicking, he sometimes knocks things over.

Oops: There's a clown in every gang, and Oops is it. A comic and an acrobat, Oops plays tricks, climbs, swings, juggles, plays musical instruments, tells jokes and simply acts silly.

Boo: Representing the impulsive, impetuous side of every toddler, this perky little imp flits around looking for mischief. You'll forgive him, though - he never goes too far.

Betty: Don't let her sad basset hound eyes fool you. Betty is everyone's best friend. Motherly and warm, she's thoroughly devoted to Didi. And although she's no comedienne, the things that happen to her will make you laugh.
