    I found out about Starfall via these forums, and my 2-year-old has been loving the site for the past several months. He's getting more and more into numbers lately, so I'm wondering - are there any similar sites out there for pre-math skills?

    I know my DS loved the leapfrog/leapster stuff. I don't know if they have anything interactive on their website, but there is a Math Factory movie (I think that is what it is called).

    I wish I knew....I did go to here and DD 2.5 loves the PreK-K (4-5 year old) games and some of the 1st grade ones. But there just aren't that many.

    http://www.pbs.org/parents/earlymath/

    Click on age group pic and then select games on side bar.
    DD fav is the sandcastle one, she is also adding how many sandcastles they are as she completes them even though the games do not do this....but you can help make them more difficult by doing this.

    HTH.....Plus if anyone have anything else definitly let e know...DD is very into starfall and this pbs, we are still looking for others....I would even buy a computer game if someone can recommend one.

    My littles use Time4Learning.com It costs 19.95 a month but it covers everything. They offer a free trial if you want to have a peek.

    My son's school has links to alot of math sites - go to http://www.lowellmst.com/ - you can click on Students and then the grade, or go to resources, and there are more links there. I haven't checked them all out, though ! smile

    We've been having good luck with maths is fun
    (Yes, there is an s at the end of math) There are games, mazes, math facts, and all sorts of fun stuff. DD6 loves it.
