This site is great for young children. There are plenty of activities that keep my six year old and my two year old interested. Games vary from matching, to concentration-type games (we unexpectedly found out that my 2 year old little girl is a master at this. I need to research what that means) to activities that test and improve math, reading and shape and color recognition. There is no cost for the site, but there are ads.

All of Playhouse Disney's sites focus on the characters on their hit television shows that play to preschoolers across the nation. At first glance, this looks more like a play site and a time waster, but we noticed that some of the better games are teaching something. One of my favorites is Manners with Max. Max will go through different scenarios and teach your child how to display the proper manners in each situation (answering the phone, eating at the table, etc.) There are also a lot of activities that allow your child to color and animate pictures on the screen or print out coloring pages to color on their own. Make sure you restrict access to the printer on this one, because my kids can go through a lot of ink and paper if I'm not paying attention.

If your little one enjoys Dora the Explorer or her cousin Diego, this is the site for him/her. Similar to the Playhouse Disney site, there are many learning, reading and coloring activities all surround the Nick Jr. universe.

Not much learning going on here. You may want to restrict this site. The games can be fun, be they can also be gross and time-wasters. Save this one for the pre-teen or teenage years.

Sometimes you can find the best sites in the strangest places. The Pepperidge Farm site was built to promote their tasty Goldfish snacks, but in the process, they created some pretty good games for kids. Definitely worth a look if your kids like Goldfish.
Some other sites that have great product-related free childrens games are: http://www.poptarts.com/, http://www.capncrunch.com/, http://www.fisherprice.com/ and http://www.lego.com
I'm sure there are hundreds of sites that I missed, and I'll post more soon. Any suggestions?

I created a website for my kids that has their favorite games. I've also added some of their friends' favorite games. I plan on adding more games frequently. It's just easier than searching several different websites everytime they want to play their games. Check it out.
