What are the best sites for
|
My husband and I decided to give my toddler his own amount of computer time as well. He is an older toddler so he gets approximately one hour a day. Unless he is outside all day, then he could care less. I do believe that we should equip our children with computer skills, as long as their time is monitored.
I have decided to write a page on this topic because I do feel it is important. I have found some amazing online toddler games sites and I want to share them with all of you. Some of these sites even have infant games that are wonderful as well. I do not have to share the statistics with you. You can really help create some smart kids by exposing them early. Not all games are bad.
So let’s get started. My son’s all time favorite site is PBS Kids. Every show on PBS from Sesame Street to Clifford and even Cailou, have games and interactive learning experiences. He adores this site and I really do feel that your family will enjoy it the same.
http://home.disney.go.com/foryou/preschool
This site is fantastic as well. Disney online toddler games, what could be better. This has Baby Einsteins music and you can watch past episodes of playhouse Disney favorites.
This site has games that are geared towards younger toddlers. With a click of the mouse they can hear the sounds of the train and see the lights flash. There is a peek-a-boo game, music maker and so much more!!

The Baby TV channel game site is amazing!! Not only are their great games but you can actually record your toddler’s voice on the site. It is so cool! Or what my son likes to do is to record his own voice acting silly and then we keep playing it back. He loves it. Your toddler will get a kick out of it.
http://www.storyplace.org/preschool/activities/circleofanimals.asp
This site has cute online toddler games. The link above will take you to this circle of animals’ game. You click on an animal and then it repeats what the animal is and also how to pronounce the animal name in Spanish. You can do some clicking around and find other great games. Love it!!
If you are a parent then you are familiar with Fisher price of course. This site is unique because there are games for Infant Toddler and Preschool. You just click your child’s age group and you are ready to go. WOW!

If you have a Dora fan or Blues Clues fan than this site is great for your toddler. It is toddler friendly. Even the Blues Clues is the cartoon version. Very easy to play and they have a new game of the week so you’re toddler will be getting a change.
Noggin is of course another good site, especially if you are a fan of the television channel. They have printables you can print out and color, craft ideas along with some games. My son really enjoys this site.
My last online toddler game site I would like to share is of course Nick Jr. Make sure it is Jr. Our toddlers do not want to be on the regular nick website. (I don’t think they would enjoy it much….) The regular favorites are here from Dora, Little Bill, Diego. The list goes on and on. Enjoy!
I hope that you and your toddler will enjoy some of the sites that are favorites in our house. Remember that games are not all bad moms. I want my son to be able to work a computer. That is the future and our children should be exposed early on. They must be monitored and time limits set of course.
If you have other online toddler games sites I would love to hear about them….. I will publish your game selection on my site, your name and your critique of the site!! We Moms have to stick together and pass on our knowledge to one another. So who can be the fastest person to get in their submissions….tag you’re it!!
