by littleones.com, on July 14th, 2010

Have you heard it yet? It's the sound of children searching for fun things to do during those long, hot summer days. When your child is stuck indoors on a rainy day or in the extreme heat, there's a valuable resource available at your fingertips. These superb educational websites for kids can turn computer time into learning time. Kids love computer games and now is your chance to break away from video arcade type games and switch over to "edutainment" websites. These sites provide creative games and kid-friendly lessons that promote problem solving abilities mixed in with loads of fun. These educational sites encourage thoughtful responses from participants, rather than focusing on keyboarding skills or lucky guesses. There are several quality sites available for children of varying ages and abilities.

Our top choice for best children’s website is www.pbskids.org. This highly recommended site has something for everyone. Children can select from their favorite PBS shows or characters. There is a wide variety of age appropriate activities available as well as additional games for slightly older children at www.pbskidsgo.org. These well-designed activities are not only fun, but reinforce important learning concepts. Kudos to PBS for providing such a great children’s website!
