Educational websites for young kids - which are best?

The reading eggs subscription has nearly expired, should we renew it (and include Dd2 this time) or go for one that has other subjects too? 5 yo fluent reader who is fairly academic and 2 (nearly 3) yo who can recognise some letters and numbers (about half of the letters and numbers to ten). Dd1 has good mouse control and can do slow typing, but Dd2 can only use touchscreen things.

We started dd1 on reading eggs at 2, and she did really well - she is now in the bigger kids section of it, but i know that other websites have good reviews.

We have two fairly clunky laptops (one with external mouse) and an ipad, plus one of the small old galaxy tabs.

Nobody tell me not to teach them to read - these threads always descend into 'they should be having fun instead of reading and doing puzzles' -they are hardly being forced, and actually reading and puzzles are fun to most people :-/

Starfall for the younger one. Sorry don't know about older one, mathsisfun.co.uk is good.

Hi

These have a good mixture of everything, for each year group :

www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/

ictgames.com/

www.coolmath-games.com/0-snoring-game/index.html (this is my favorite ! )

www.coolmath-games.com/

also " www.uptoten.com " but my 'flash' is too old to do a proper link.

and plenty on BBC sites as well.

cheers,
Have fun !
