Hello, it's me again! With the kids being out of school i am needing something to keep them busy. I have been using Starfall.com for my preschooler and it's a little too easy for my 1st grader. I am wanting to know of any educational or just just for fun web sites for grade school age, and for preschoolers. Thank you for helping me keep my sanity!
J., try abcteach.com, this is a really cool web site. There are so many things to try. Hope it helps.
If you can afford 20 dollars, check out www.time4learning.com
They allow month to month accounts and you can cancel anytime.

My daughter is not quite old enough to use the computer (6 months), but a friend of mine has a daughter that's 4 and she said that she likes to go the Hannah Montana and Dora websites because there are little games that she can play and pictures that she can color online. Just something that you may want to check out.
My 6 year old loves funbrain.com. Nick.com is also popular but I limit that one because a lot of it is just junk.
Mine enjoyed the PBS kids site at that age. They have educational games, read-along stories, craft ideas....all kinds of good stuff.
I would like to make some suggestions that I provided for my graduate class. I have not visited the sites in a while, so things might have changed...Good luck!
www.media-awareness.ca/english/index.cfm [great website to teach about anti cyber bullying, online manners, etc.]
www.readinghouse.com [motivate children to read]
www.vocabulary.co.il [learn and review vocabulary in a fun and interactive way]
Does your first grader have computer time at school? As the teacher what websites they are using so you can practice at home.

I believe the disney channel has one, pbskids.org has been mentioned, my first grader also likes the paint program that came with the software.
It is not a website, but a good game for the little one and maybe the older on too. We have a frogger game for PS2 it comes with a mat they jump on. It teaches color, letters, numbers, and shapes. There are 3 other game that work with the mat.
Hi I have a 5yr old and she loves to go to pbs Kids.com and play and so does my 8yr neice. They play on there for hours.
My kids (pre-school through 1st Grade) really enjoy the Playhouse Disney and Nick Jr. websites. All of their favorite t.v. shows have games.
Jigzone.com is great for all ages - kids can work jisaw puzzles of all different kinds of pictures. You can even upload your own picture to be made into a puzzle. Just be sure to change the cut to fewer pieces for a child. Also, my all time favorite site is familyfun.com. They have endless ideas for all kinds of activities for kids of all ages - with pictures and how-to videos. Good luck!
i don't have any sites for a preschooler but my daughter love Club Penquin http://www.clubpenguin.com/index.html
it's just for fun. and it's very secure - as far as chatting goes.
my daughter has a lot of favorites saved. i can check them when i get home tonight and see if they apply to your children's ages.
