Question
Hi

I have a 3 1/2 year old granddaughter and we enjoy playing on the computer.

Could you possibly advise me of any websites that have online games that would be fun to us?

Thanks,
Kathy

Answer
Hi Kathy,

I have a huge list of fun places to take your granddaughter. Some of these may be too old for her now but she'll grow fast!

First, I am going to list a couple of kids color page and craft links.

http://www.onawhim.us/kidszone_nonflash.html (my old site)
http://ivyjoy.com/coloring/coloringlinks.html (incredible listing of kids coloring page websites)
http://www.coloring.ws/coloring.html
http://www.sitesforparents.com/index3.html (more links to great websites)
http://www.kidsdomain.com/craft/
http://www.make-stuff.com/ (cool site)
http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/ (one of my all time favorite websites :)

Next is a list of online game sites that I have found on the internet. Many of these sites have games for 3-5 year olds. You'll need to go through and see if they fit your needs. My kids favorites are first. They are ages 5 and 3.

More gaming places but we usually stick with the top list.
