Cadbury's buttons site is good - just got this new 'activity book' thing which is a bit more advanced than cbeebies. My dd (6 and half) really liked it. E-pages which are easy enough for her to read, stuff to click on and little quizzes, e-jigsaws and 'colouring pages'.

Got a list from our year 1 teacher at the start of the year but not checked these out properly yet (probably a bit too 'educational')

The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (numeracy and logic games)

www.bbc.co.uk/schools/bitesize/
numeracy and literacy games

Dare I say, Club Penguin...? Grin

We had one recommended ages ago and my kids loved it. I recall it ws called www.poissonrouge.com
really good at getting them to explore with the mouse and see what different parts of the pages do
Actually, thinking about it now, it may be a bit young!

My DD 4 yrs enjoys using it... Smile

Poisson rouge is brilliant! May be a bit young but there's loads to do and it can all be done independently. I love it.

polkadottytotty · 25/08/2010 10:11

National geographic kids is good - lots of games/activities and educational too.

Agree that Poisson rouge is excellent. It has recently been updated and now has more stretching maths problems etc on it.

Zoodles - has a good variety. Creates its own broswer so kids dont wander
