And as you are on the computer...Websites your older children may enjoy:

(but research has shown that all children are best limited to under 2 hours of screen time each day)

Kneebouncers, Spot, Puzzle Pixies, CBeebies, for puzzles/games. Also MiniMops for their excellent Music Show

Fisher-Price have a very simple online colouring program. Move onto the rainbow game on Minimops, or Magic Squiggles on CBeebies for painting online (great for learning mouse control)...and then the excellent Digi-colour paintbox for more advanced work.

We can still be breastfeeding friendly with some games, here. **(though the voices may annoy you!)

Get a virtual pet? - a dog here will do the tricks you ask for... IdoDogTricks.com

Colouring pages to print out - Fisher-Price, Crayola, Jan Brett for very cutesie pics, TV characters from CBeebies & the USA.

KS I - BBC Bitesize, numeracy, Crayola, Scholastic Mag (free content only from this link)
