thomas' current video game fav's

just wanted to share some great (& free!) toddler video games. this one is from sesame street: keyboard-o-rama. he can press any letter on the keyboard and elmo tells him the letter and names off something that starts with that letter. as you can see from this pic - he loves it. absolute focus for 5-15 minutes. sooo funny. and he is getting really good at finding his favorite letters and numbers with skillful one little index finger typing.

they also have a simple peek-a-boo game where babies can get results hitting any key or keys - which was great, but thomas has "advanced" beyond that now... *sigh* growing up fast!

there is also the games section on thewiggles.com/games (thanks theikedas for that tip!). thomas likes "instruments", "pot plants", "numbers 1 to 10" (if you press the middle, one of the wiggles just says the numbers out loud. thomas gets a kick out of that for some reason) and of course, "wiggly radio".

finally, william's dad sent us this link schoolsongs.edu.tw for all these silly songs. thomas LOVES the abc song (1st one) and will ask for it 5 to 10 times in a row. crazy! most of them are low quality, very simple, totally cheepo karaoke, anime-type drawings.... but they are great for toddlers. :). "colors" and "balloons" are 2 other good ones for his age.

if any of you parents out there have other internet games your toddlers love, share please!

I'll have to try the school songs on Sara. I think she'll love it. She's already addicted to youtube's "the egg song".
