Our DD3.11 learnt how to use a computer and mouse around her 3rd birthday and has been playing bits of computer games ever since. Her favourite for a while has been Poisson Rouge but she's grown beyond that now.

She spent a while playing the puzzle game World of Goo, but lately has been getting upset by some of the melancholic imagery in it. It's emotionally too complex for her to process but responds to it anyway so we've had to shelve that for a while.

Does anyone know of other good computer games or sites like Poisson Rouge (but at a higher level) that would be appropriate? She's just finishing her letters and starting to read at the moment, so full reading is still probably 6 months ahead.

Have you tried Starfall.com?

My daughter adores Boowa & Kwala, but she also still likes Poisson Rouge. I'm not sure what would really be a higher level but not require reading.

starfall is great, my DS (4y3mo) also likes all the TV station games. I have them all bookmarked for him. Disney, nickelodeon, pbskids, nickjr (formerly noggin) etc. There are a lots of fun games on there.
