All you parents and homeschool moms out there have any educational websites and/or games you can recommend? My DD is 3 and is shocking me with how computer savvy she is already! She picked it up so quickly. The only site she's really played on is the Nick Jr. site, so I'd like something fun that she can practice her letters and that kind of thing, but she's still pretty young, so it can't be too hard.

Thanks in advance, guys! :thumbup:

My kids love this one: http://www.starfall.com/
And my son who just finished Kindy likes this one too. I'm not sure how much pre-k content it has, but it might be worth a look: http://www.abcya.com/

Starfall! That's the one I was thinking of that I knew I'd heard recommended before. Thanks!

And keep 'em coming if anyone has anymore! Thanks so much!

www.zoodles.com is a huge favorite around here. They also have apps for smartphones :)

I don't have time to link right now (sorry!), but at 3 my DS loved pbskids.org and Jumpstart. Jumpstart isn't free, but it's fun and has educational content.

I limit screen time for my son who is 4 so the rare chance he gets to use the computer, he loves pbskids.org (http://pbskids.org/).

Some of Jumpstart is free. You can pay extra to unlock other areas of the site...we're cheap and make Rachel stick to the free section. LOL

jumpstart.com is awesome...you can play for free or pay a subscription..but the free games are just as good. Jumpstart also sells computer and wii games. DS really liked them at that age.

I put together a list of kids' sites for my classroom. Some of them might be too old for now, but surely you'll find something here. :)
