Ananda and Aaron used to LOVE going on PBSKids.org and nickjr.com to play games and do challenges...when they were preschoolers. Isaac and Jake do it now, but I don't have anything new for A and A and they've long outgrown it.

My criteria is that a site be at least semi-educational, without a lot of obnoxious (pop-up, videos to watch before you see what you're there for, etc) ads (a sidebar banner or something is probably ok, assuming it's appropriate). They're both really good readers at this point, with math skills about on point for grade level (2nd and 3rd) and a TON of science knowledge. Even just a collection of amazing science videos or something would probably be great for them, without games...we don't have cable here so they're not watching Animal Planet anymore. They like to do things like watch Foo Fighters videos on YouTube and browse things to save their money for on ThinkGeek.com but that's kind of not the same.

So what have you got?

I'm just passing through, but starfall.com and iknowthat.com are wonderful for educational games.

Hey, thanks! Starfall I'd forgotten all about (we have some of their workbooks) but iknowthat is great and I'd never heard of it :)
