Free Online Games for Pre-schoolers

As pre-schoolers start to learn how to point and click their way around the computer, they will want to also have a little fun on the computer. Luckily there is a huge selection of great on-line, free, pre-school games. If your child watches any television programming geared towards pre-schoolers, there is probably a website with a free, on-line games for it.

Pre-school aged children will probably need help navigating around the computer, at least at first. Make sure you are on hand to watch what they are doing and help when they get stuck. An older sibling would also be a great "coach" for your pre-schooler at the computer. Before long, your child will be pointing and clicking with the best of them. Here are just a few web sites with games for pre-school aged children.

Playhousedisney.com: Playhouse Disney can be kind of complicated to navigate, especially if you aren't that familiar with the way things are set up. Most of the games that are associated with television shows are free. These include Higleytown Heroes, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, Jojo's Circus, and Mickey's Clubhouse. There are games, activities, stories and music for each of these shows. There are also several places on Disney's site that are games for purchase. Many of them offer free trials before you buy, but it requires downloading information on your computer and is definitely not something a pre-school aged kid would know how to do. There are also plenty of ideas for holiday crafts and coloring pages to print out.

Nickjr.com: Nickjr.com is another great site associated with a kid's television channel. Just as with Playhouse Disney's web site, kids will find games, stories and music with all of their favorite Nick Jr. shows at the Nick Jr. web site. Many shows that may not be in the current line-up still have games represented. There is Miss Spider, Blue's Clues, Dora, Diego, and Max and Ruby, just to name a few. The games are all designed for pre-school aged children and are lots of fun.
