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?

My son used to love tutpups - they can do math with kids from all over the world (they show the flag of the country you're in). I believe it's www.tutpups.com

No s on the end :) Looks good though - we'll definitely be using that one. Thanks for replying!

Also, my five year old likes www.phonicsplay.co.uk - it's a British site for phonics (we're ex-pats in the UK) with lots of interactive games.
