A trial version of the software can be downloaded which gives you full access to the software and features for a limited period of time.īella has had a lot of fun using the software, particularly the games. Magic Desktop provides all the necessary features to supervise your kids activity on the computer, protecting them from online threats, and also guarding your PC from accidental damage. A web browser is also included, giving kids access to preselected web pages and content. In the gaming area there is a wide variety of games for kids of all ages. It integrates drawing, editing, and music tools to develop their artistic skills, as well as educational activities covering maths, spelling, the alphabet, planets, and more. This way, your child will stay completely within the Magic Desktop environment whilst they are using the computer, away from the programs and files you use.Ĭombining games, colourful themes, with attractive interactive content, the application stimulates kids imagination and creativity. It’s also recommended to create a user account on your computer for your child, if you haven’t already, and also choose the option to have Magic Desktop launch as soon as that account logs on. With the parental control options, you can limit the period of time your child spends in front of the PC, setting the exact dates and times they can use a particular program. This password will be required every time you need to make any adjustment. During setup, you will be asked to create a master password too, which will give you access to all the configuration options. The process was very simple, you just need to follow the wizard instructions, and add your child’s name and age. The application works as a replacement ‘desktop’ for your child, providing an intuitive interface with icons and menus that kids will quickly become familiar with. It was really easy to install on Daddy’s computer, which is a desktop computer (running Windows).

I was recently approached by Magic Desktop to review their software for kids. In this post, I look at Magic Desktop, an application for your computer which aims to create a safe and stimulating environment where kids can improve their computer literacy at their own pace. Protecting your kids online is very important and is something I covered recently.



Since starting to use a computer at school and seeing Mummy and Daddy using our computers, she now wants to spend time on the computer at home. My 5 year old knows exactly how to use an iPad and has done for sometime. Its amazing how quickly kids are able to learn how to use new technology.
