I've used Enchanted Learning before too. Some of it you have to subscribe to, but there's plenty of other topical/seasonal stuff to get some ideas from.

Here's a fun cooking one for kids too!

love this one

and this

what about this one

I also love poissonrouge for the kids

Someone on mumsnet got me to look at www.starfall.com it's great, not just for letter sounds, but also for mouse control. 3-year old I care for, can now use the site unaided. There are also worksheets to print out, if you are so inclined.

I've used the ABC one before, but not the others. D'ya think anyone else cares!

Hurrah! X-posts. My apolgies to you two!

Im colleting them as they are put on and putting them in my favorites

Will do more once DD in bed.

www.sherriallen.com/coloring/index.html
www.sparklebox.co.uk/
And the website that was set up for our ideas etc. www.freewebs.com/mncmclub/index.htm

Enormous amount of colouring pages here including things like Disney characters and Betty Spaghetty (my own dd's fave!)
www.first-school.ws/ is good, www.coloringcastle.com/ has more colouring, www.coloring.ws/ ditto.

For older mindees this one means you can create word searches and crossword puzzles online (I used this for my Brownies who were tickled pink that all their names were in a word search!) and this one has lots of craft ideas although some more suited to older children.

Having trawled through all the sites on my 'favourites' I see I use the internet rather a lot!! Still, that's what it's there for, saves a fortune on eg Usborne craft books and buying colouring books!
