Great online learning site for young kids...

My wife found, thanks to her mommy friends on JustMommies.com, a terrific website with educational games for young kids.
It's called Starfall. Preschoolers seem to be the target audience, but there are more advanced activities.

We were starting to get concerned about our 3 year-old son's lack of progress with his verbal skills. Within days of his using the site, they began to improve dramatically. He's also becoming more verbal. Instead of grunting and pointing, he's asking for things by name. Now he's a little pro at it. Another added benefit(?) is that his computer use skills are being developed.

What's best is we don't have to force him to use it. He loves it. In fact it's difficult to get him off it at times.

It's so cute to watch him cruise through the sites many activities. Of course, now we fight over the computers.
