Websites for preschoolers - any recommendations?

[scoobysnax]

I have discovered CBBC and the boobahs sites (the latter thanks to mumsnet!)
Does anyone have any more top recommendations?

up to ten comes up in french but you can change it to english - has games and characters to colour.

just checked and it actually comes up in english so that's fine. Haven't investigated it much, but apparently there are 600 free games / activities.

American but brilliant for printables and craft ideas: www.dltk-kids.com/

Try the following, from ages about 3 to 6ish:

www.themouseclub.co.uk
www.thomasthetankengine.com
www.sesameworkshop.org
www.sesamestreet.com
www.welltown.gov.uk
www.funbrain.com
www.kidstime.com

Cbeebies as well as cbbc. It's brilliant for mouse control etc

Just wanted to say that I thought pre-school websites were a good idea ("just another way to play" is how CBeebies sell it) until I saw my friend's ds. He is 3 years old and is hooked on the pc. He has Bob the Builder pc games, Thomas the Tank Engine, etc. My friend thought it would improve his co-ordination skills, but now he just wants to stay indoors playing these games and screams if she turns it off. I find it quite disturbing to see how good he is at the mouse and how hooked he is on playing these games.

Yes I know it all boils down to parenting, but it's an easy trap to fall into, like sitting them down in front of the tv only to find they are spending more and more time there. Now I think that pre-schoolers are too young to be on the pc, they can develop co-ordination skills outside playing with toy diggers. Many schools now have pc's for pupils, so I would leave it to the school to teach them those skills.
