I'm looking for more places to find educational games online for my 3.5 year old to play. He is very into the SesameStreet.com site, but I think we need to expand to other options. I'd like something that is calm and that will actually teach him things rather than just mindless junk.

Any recommedations?
Thanks!

ETA: I went on the PBSkids site, but their games don't seem to have any audio. My son likes it when the computer talks to him, and honestly, I like it when he can play a bit independently.

My son also likes noggin.com, nickjr.com, and scholastic.com

He's actually gotten really really good at using the mouse through these online games!

We love the Noggin website. DS also likes to talk to the characters, and he loves that he can be "friends" with the characters from his favorite Noggin shows. :)

www.noggin.com

It's not interactive, but it's fun! I use this site a lot for things like word searches and cross words for bridal showers, baby showers, family Christmas, etc.

pbskids always has audio for us -- I think something must have gone wrong.
