Educational Websites

For all the moms out there that have kids toddler to preschool age, I am going to list some of the sites I have found or been referred over the past couple weeks. I am currently teaching the kids how to use a computer-basically using a mouse and using a keyboard. I searched high and low, and the best thing I have found is http://www.boowakwala.com/kids/boowakwala-homefirstclicks.html. They are on Lesson 2 now and its pretty comprehensive, starting with roll-over mouse games.

I like http://www.starfall.com/n/level-k/index/load.htm?f for ABCs. I have started to let them click through it, but I'm trying to concentrate on 4 letters right now, not all of the alphabet. Another website is pretty good, and it has numerous links to other sites for various learning games: http://www.uptoten.com/kids/uptoten-home.html. This site is how I found the Boowa and Kwala site.

A few others:

Try www.clubpenuin.com when they get a little older. It's so cute and also it's safe. They get to name their penquin and he goes to different areas of the frozen tundra. You can pay a fee, but we never have and Kai doesn't complain about a lack of things to do on there. PBSkids.org, sproutonline.com and Sesamestreet.org are some more good ones.
