The library website is often a great resource too. Our local library website has resources for kids that include games and an entire list of animated stories. Sometimes for bed time we sit together with the lap top and pick a book from the list. While the stories have a narrator, often they ask me to turn the sound off and read the story .

My sister has been looking for some fun activities for her kids, 3 and 18 months. The kids have both gotten into the habit of sitting in her lap while she works, so it's no something they both want to play with. She's been doing the Disney TV website for the most part, but she said the games are a little advanced for their younger years. I'll definitely pass these tips on to her! Thanks for sharing!

My Dear Child (age 6, in Kindergarten) also goes on PBS Kids and CBeebies but she also likes Kids CBC and Treehouse. Her fave though is Webkinz. She likes decorating rooms for her pets and is very good at some of the arcade games, including Lunch Letters (teaches typing skills) and Bamboo Bash (a Tetris clone that’s good for spatial relationships). She can get to level 3 in Lunch Letters and usually somewhere in level 2 or 3 of Bamboo Bash.

I laughed when I read Lauren’s comment. The baby (2 next month) is very dangerous around the computer! I once left DC and her 4 yo niece playing on Webkinz and went to the bathroom for literally about 2 minutes. I came back to find that the baby had pushed them away from the computer and taken it over. As I came into the room she looked at me and bent over, redoubling her efforts. I pulled her away and discovered that she had gotten into my administrative password (I wasn’t even logged in as Admin) and was *changing* it! I was just lucky that she hadn’t been able to replicate the new password the second time in order to make it take effect.
