Any good interactive educational websites out there for 5 and 6 year olds?

Hello. I'm new, this is my first time here so I hope I'm doing it right...

I'm looking for some good kids educational websites to let my children loose on, they're 5 and 6 years old (1 boy, 1 girl) and, while we enjoy cbeebies, I'd like to find some more too. Especially some that involve typing and keyboard skills. Is it a big ask?

We've tried educationcity and I also use phonicsplay sometimes but they still like cbeebies best.

Any suggestions are welcome.

There is a typing tutor on the BBC Schools site here. I'm an infant teacher and often use it in ICT lessons.

Hi

A couple of sites I used when I was KS1 Teaching Assistant, are:

uptoten.com - hundreds of games, colouring (on-screen or print out and colour), music, etc

enchantedlearning.com - American, and most games cost now, but there are free demos.

bbc.co.uk/schools/ks1bitesize - numeracy and literacy activities.

(There was also a Primary school that used to have an amazing web site of games, but the name escapes me. If I find it I'll let you know.)

I think a lot of kids books, films, games etc will have games and activities on: there is a Lego one, but I can't make it work!! Could be because we have Linux and not Windows.

Good luck.
