Spent an hour on-line with ds1 playing simple games on the BBC website. He loved the pairing up games and the bob the builder driving game, picking up parcels. Anyone know of any websites with lots of simples games for little kids?

Channel 5 have a Milkshake website. It's not as varied as CBeebies but the 'design your own Mr Man' is good.

Oooh this is great. I've often wondered whilst playing Bob the Builder game. Does anyone know if doing any of these games counts as downloading for the purposes of having a very cheap, very limited broadband package?

DS (4) likes www.trafficclub.org.
The games are fun and educational (that's what he tells me .

We really like boobahs . No experience of boobahs necessary but a variety of things to do for different levels of mouse control. Lovely for beginners as there are some games where just a wiggle of the mouse produces a result. Enjoy

DS loves the Mr Men website

Has anyone tried Yetisports? They are not aimed specifically at children but when my ds was about 3 he adored them, especially Orcaslap and Seal Bounce. They are very good for hand-eye co-ordination!

ds just turned 3 and he has been playing Thomas games all weekend. The problem is he is now demanding the computer a lot and I need it for myself!!
Thomas
He can play a lot of them by himself which is good too.

Yes- we bought him his own colourful mouse and mousepad at the weekend (he was struggling with the touchpad). He loves it! We are having to restrict usage as he would spend all day glued. He is just 3 and is already a whizz (since I first posted). He was dragging and dropping like a pro yesterday!!

Any more suggestions very welcome!!!?? Thanks

Try Uptoten which is first choice in our house, even over Cbeebies. Hundreds of games (the Boowa and Kwala selection is for the under sixes) which are nicely organised into different themes.
