Educational Websites for your Kids

If your kids are anything like mine, they spend a lot of time playing on the computer and I like to have an idea of what sites they are looking at to be sure that they are appropriate and educational at the same time.  My kids have several sites in their bookmarks, but here are some of the real favourites:

www.tfo.org/jeux/mini/ (French games)
www.tfo.org/jeux/
www.tvokids.com
www.barbie.com (yes, believe it or not there is some educational value to some of their games)
www.starfall.com (pronunciations and spellings are American though)
www.playhousedisney.ca
www.treehousetv.com
www.sesamestreet.org

The important thing for MY kids with those sites is that they recognize the characters from what they see on TV (with the exception of starfall).  That's not to say that there aren't plenty of other educational sites that I expose them to, they just prefer to PLAY the ones with the characters that they know.

Here are a few other places that you can look for more educational websites:

I hope you find this post helpful with your kids!
