Free Online Games for Preschoolers

After a fun day at the beach or the park this summer, my 3 year old needs to wind down a bit. I've found these fun games for him to play online - all completely free!




Fisher Price has online games for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. If your child is at the bang-on-the-keyboard stage or is a wizard at the mouse, there is something for her here. Our faves include "Learn your shapes and colors" and "Learn your ABCs".




Nick Jr has tons of cute games if you don't mind the TV tie-ins. I totally dig the "Wow! Wow! Wubbzy" build-a-robot game. Of course, Dora and Diego hang out there, too!




Noggin has a few of the same characters as Nick Jr., but adds some great selections from the wacky The Upside Down Show and the adorable Pinky Dinky Doo.




Also check out Playhouse Disney for some games with favorite characters. My son loves Little Einsteins, Tigger & Pooh, and those cute monkeys Ooh and Aah. Oh! And don't forget Charlie and Lola. Soooo cute!




PBS Kids has Sesame Street, Curious George and Clifford games. There are also tons more Sesame Street games on their own site. The Sesame Street site is very easy to navigate for beginning computer users. Both sites have printables as well as games.




Learn reading skills at Starfall. Preschoolers can start out with the ABC letter sounds area. Then as your child grows up, he can try the more advanced stories.
