http://www.kneebouncers.com I can't say enough good things about this site. It's bright colored and fun for my 2-year-old to play. It's not hard for him. The hardest thing is he asks to play "the cat game" and we don't know which game he means.

DreamBox Rocks

My 5 year old daughter loves DreamBox because it takes her on adventures. I like it because it's a fun and entertaining way for her to learn math skills. Thank you DreamBox for making math fun for kids!!

Dreambox!

Dreambox has been a favorite in our home for over a year now. The series of games are challenging and fun, and our son really looks forward to playing. He has been learning math skills at an amazing rate! I can't recommend Dreambox enough.

dreambox.com

dreambox actually teaches my kids something, and remembers them. they think it's a really fun series of games with different avatars and worlds, but they are learning math so fast they are showing progress at school. they beg me to play - how's that for a win-win?

Dreambox is fun and boosts math skills!

Dreambox.com is a fantastic math educational site with interactive stories that makes learning a rigorous curriculum fun! My child is two grade levels ahead in math now thanks to Dreambox. He uses Dreambox at home and in his classroom. There are fun games online and newsletters with tips for math activities families can do on the fly -- waiting in lines, hanging out, etc, as well as access to great parenting tips and research based resources. Thanks Dreambox!

DreamBox Learning (DreamBox.com)

DreamBox is the absolute best: it is Kindergarten through 2d Grade math calibrated keystroke-by-keystroke for what my sons need to help them learn (and love) math: recording each response a child makes to determine what content he or she needs, DreamBox uses the web to do what only the web can do. It has fun story lines, characters, games, and virtual manipulatives. It also offers great coordination with teachers & schools, if your school is so inclined. I have recommended it to several friends, whose kids also love it. If you have questions, the DreamBox folks are happy to respond to emails or phone calls, always very quickly. Serious learning that's seriously fun: Dreambox.com is on a whole other level from other computer-based kids' learning programs I've seen.

Dreambox Learning!!

Dreambox Learning is by far the best website my daughter has ever used. It's educational and ties in closely with what she's learning in school, AND she enjoys the games and characters. I also love that parents can get feedback on how their kids are using the website.

Disney Digital Books gets my vote

I would have to say the best kids website is Disney Digital Books - all my favorites when I was a child plus all of the new characters...

ZiggityZoom.com

I think one of the best kids sites I've seen is ziggityzoom.com. The site has a lot of good, wholesome content for kids and great ideas for parents and/or teachers to do with their kids. I enjoy the many craft ideas and the short stories the kids can read.
