• kinderwebgames.com has some online kids games. I think someone said fisherprice.com does also.

  At home we are about to use a Twister mat to help work on colors. We aren't gonna do it the normal way just find fun ways to help her to learn them.

• My 3 yr old is all over the place, so worksheets really don't work (and frustrate her).  Fingerpainting letters in pudding is always fun.  When the weather is nice, sidewalk chalk is awesome.  We go on "shape hunts" around the house - and she usually sees things I never would have noticed!  Beanbags are great!  Set up piles with different numbers of beanbags across the room.  Then say something like, "Run to the pile that has two beanbags." etc...seems simple, but they really love it!

• Rebecca loves alphabet soup! We work on identifying letters and the sounds  they make, as well as words associated with those letters and sounds. She is learning her letters, having lunch, and fun all at the same time! Another mom mentioned shape hunts, and I agree, it is a blast!

• Found a great website, and good idea for teaching kids 2-3 how to spell their name while having fun! Check it out:

• I've used everything from Battleship (counting) to chuttes & Ladders. I also took foamie sheets and cut them into 1 inch squares. On the squares i wrote letters , then blends, then digraphs. We put them together to make small words, for each word he makes he gets a point, if he gets more than 20 points he can get a sticker (although I usually give him the sticker anyway...lol)
