Two-year-old Lilianna Robinson is sitting on her mother's lap. She is busy with one of her favorite activities—playing Kneebouncers on the computer. Her father, Jim Robinson, was one half of the team that developed the website—Kneebouncers.com.

Jim Robinson said, “I do all of the drawings and the silly little games, and Kurt brings them to life.” Kurt Dommermuth is the other half of the development team. The two men first had the idea for Kneebouncers seven years ago. They both had baby girls at the time.

Jim Robinson said, “Mine was six months old and Kurt's was nine months old, and I had two older kids, too. They could play on older sites, the Disney.com and PBS.com, but their little sister could not use the mouse and she was getting disappointed.”

With Kneebouncers, touching any part of the computer keyboard can cause an action on the screen. Jim Robinson says that many of the eighteen games on the website are designed for very young children.

News of the website spread beyond the Robinson and Dommermuth families and friends. More than one million people from more than 180 countries have visited Kneebouncers.com.

The website has added educational games to teach babies shapes, letters, colors and numbers. The two fathers say that they are developing programs for the Internet and television based on Kneebouncers.com characters.

But Kneebouncers remains free. And, Jim Robinson says the website is important in another way. Jim Robinson said, “We’ve created a safe environment, too. There is no advertising on the site. You just enter Kneebouncers.com, you pick a game and you start Kneebouncing.”
