I just introduced the computer to Elizabeth yesterday. We played a Cailou game about colors and she loved it. I did the mouse for her, but she definitly participated.
Kasey loves anything on the Nick Jr or Playhouse Disney sites. We let her pick the show she wants to visit. THen she picls the games. Shes getting really good with answering the questions without help. I still do the mouse tho.
grandson is 2 and has been on the computer for some time now. he can work the mouse himself and spends a lot of his time going to the noggin site and disney sites. he plays the games and sings the songs. it is a wonder what he can do at his age
There is a site called starfall.com that is game that teaches letters and sounds also other things to help teach them to read and if I'm not mistaken also numbers.
My middle daughter has been navigating the computer since early 2. She is so smart with the computer, it amazes me! My two older 7 and almost 4 are really into webkinz. Its such a neat site. Very protected and the kids have a ball learning how to make money and pay for things for their animal. I feel its a great learning experience but in a fun way. Starfall is something weve been using for years and great for little ones to learn ABC's etc and even to sound out words! Funbrain.com is great for older ones like 5 and up school aged.
neopets.com is fun as well. the main difference is that you dont have to buy a toy to get a code. you just go to the site. its a site for the older ones to but it has tons of flash games that kasey loves to help me do.
