Kids Keyboard

My little girl is four and due to start full time school in September. She is really keen to learn and lately we have been typing words on the computer (using the comic sans font - so the letters look the same as she is used to) and then printing them out for her to copy and write.
The problem I have is that she is used to lower case letters and obviously on a keyboard they are upper case. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells a kids keyboard or even somewhere that will do stickers for my existing keyboard.

Thanks very much

    when learning the alphabet the Capital and normal letter are always shown in Jolly Phonics, Letterland etc. so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Explain the caps lock button and show her the difference.
    4 y.o. minds can make connections pretty quickly.:D

    I bought a lower case keyboard off ebay for 99p! Its worth keeping an eye out on there as its fab.
  • We simply wrote the lower case letters on some sticky labels, cut them to size and put them on. They peeled off easily after children didn't need them.

    Cost nothing as already had labels.
