Internet Games for Kids
My young nephew educated me about the fact that toddlers aren’t shy about going online and playing games. In fact, I was very surprised at how young he was when he became Internet savvy. Using a mouse wasn’t daunting to him at all. With his savvy came the ability to search online, accompanied by an almost insatiable desire for more activities.
His mother bookmarked all his favorites, so I’ve had a chance to play on them. I get nearly as much enjoyment out of them as my nephew does! You might find that your children like them too.
Please note that some of the resources or sites linked from them are for older children but plenty of them are perfect for toddlers.
Disney Preschool (http://home.disney.go.com/foryou/preschool/)
As could be expected, Disney offers a web channel for pre-schoolers, which is chock full of fun videos and music. They also offer activities, like The Great Sky Race, Inspector Ooh and Hop up and Jump In. Kids can also enter the “worlds” of a variety of Disney characters, such as Tinkerbell, Buzz Lightyear, Special Agent Oso, Phineas and Ferb and many others your child will recognize.
HubPages (http://hubpages.com/_coloringpages/)
HubPages is a communal blogging site that offers all kinds of information and resources, including kids activities. There are free flower coloring pages, Halloween crafts and Christmas coloring pages for children, as well as many others. You can either click the links in this article or search the HubPages site for other coloring pages and activities.
Nick Games (http://www.nick.com/games/)
Nickolodeon has established a great games site based on their cartoons. Along with plenty of other offerings, they feature games starring the penguins from Madagascar, SpongeBob Squarepants, Otis from Back at the Barnyard and Jimmy Neutron. There are also plenty of activities that appeal to kids of all ages.
Coloring.com (home page: http://www.coloring.com/, categorized index page: http://www.coloring.com/pictures/choose.cdc)
This site is pretty low-tech, making it easy for you to find the coloring page you want to download. It has a large selection of coloring pages accessible by those who can read the categories. These can be accessed by going to the “categorized index page” URL shown above. The home page, however, has pictures, so your child might be able to find everything without your help.
May your children have many happy hours playing on these sites!
