KID TESTED, MOM-APPROVED INTERNET SITES

Big Sister has loved playing games on the computer for as long as I can remember. She is five now and highly adept at nagivating her way around the mouse and keyboard, often teaching herself and me new games as she learns them. As an educator and mom, I want her to have fun on her computer, but also learn something as well. These are my top picks for Big Sister's playtime:

NICK JR. ONLINE GAMES

http://www.nickjr.com/playtime/cats/games/index.jhtml

*Play along with Dora, Blues Clues, Little Bill and More. Children learn problem-solving strategies,

PBS KIDS

www.pbskids.com

*Play along with Arthur, Calliou & Curious George. This site offers your little one puzzles, artwork and other interactive learning opportunities.

SESAME WORKSHOP

*Join Elmo, Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street gang for A,B,C learning fun!

STARFALL

*A good place to help your child improve his/her reading readiness skills.
