I found a great site for the little ones today and thought I would provide a link for you here.  The site is http://www.funbrain.com  The site has fantastic games that are simple enough for your 3 year old to play as well as games for the older kids.  I find that many sites are too hard for my four year old; he gets frustrated when he can’t win or if their is reading involved.  Some sites have games that are too violent and have links to other more adult sites.  funbrain is educational and safe with activities that include subjects such as reading, math and science for the older school aged children, but also has simple games that are geared for the 3, 4 and 5 year olds.  My favorite game so far is Pigs Fly where the child has to use the mouse to help the piggy bounce from cloud to cloud and catch food along the way.  It helps improve hand eye coordination, and helps fine tune motor skills development AND it is just plain FUN!  

The site is also teacher friendly.  The site helps teachers find games that are age, skill, and subject appropriate for their classrooms and there is even a grade-book application.  Funbrain is really one of the nicest sites I have seen on the web.    

Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
