One of the first websites Sunnyboy used himself was Charlie and Lola and it was while watching video clips on that site that he started using the mouse. Since then he's taught himself more computer skills by spending time on the CBeebies website. Other sites he visits too include Poisson Rouge, UpToTen.com and The Fungooms. Recently he also did a two week free trial on Reading Eggs and they've now been sent us a code for a month free trial. His favourite website though is YouTube!
This week we decided to look for more websites that he'd like and tried out quite a few. If you have any favourite websites for young children we'd love you to let us know in the comments. Here's the list we have so far:

Thank you for sharing this list! Looks like I have some websites to visit!
Thanks for the list!
My son loves the computer and gets bored of the same old sites... he loves going on the McDonald's one, funnily enough... keeps him busy long enough for me to throw a load of laundry in & do the dishes! ;)
Thanks for linking up to Learning Laboratory at Mama Smiles =)
Thanks for the link up to www.autonomoseducation.com! Much appreciated.
This is a good list. Nice to see some of our favourites - we especially love Peep and the Big Wide World! The Peep games page is one of Cupcake's favourites.
This is a great list. I'm always looking for more resources for my 4 year old. I can't wait to try these out.

Great list, thanks for posting!
My son really learned a lot about using computers on nickjr.com
Great list! We'll have to check these out! My kids ( 5 and 2) have learned so much from kid websites! Our favorites are Disney Jr, Nick Jr, Starfall, and Webzinz.
Thanks for sharing this list! I have not heard of most of these, and am excited to check them out!

This is a great list. A lot of those sites are not familiar to me, so I am curious to check them out. My daughter still loves starfall.com a lot.

Wow! That's a big list. We like the BBC website - There is lots of stuff for little ones, but my older (8yrs & 10yrs) kids really enjoy the typing.
