Free Preschool Games

Preschool games are not just educational, they actually teach various skills such as typing and computer literacy. Computers are  a fun and very interactive way of introducing your child to the world of information. Toddlers are mesmerized by it and can sit for hours, just watching and banging the keyboard.

This brings me to another point. I suggest you buy a keyboard just for your toddler. Something strong and sturdy. I've seen something similar at various toy stores. They are costly, but worth it. You just plug it into your computer and watch them play their favorite preschool games.

One of the things that you should avoid is to take over the play session. Give your toddler time to play and figure things out on their own. You can sit close-by and help when needed, but let them control the mouse and let them feel free to click all over the page. This is the best method of learning. If they really struggle you can guide them accordingly.

I've searched and reviewed a few games myself and consider them to be fun, interactive, educational and entertaining. The very best games you need to pay for, but there is a few free online preschool games worth downloading.

Preschool computer games are another alternative. 

This can be bought at top retail outlets for a modest price.

The graphics on these preschool gamesare great and some of them are focused specifically on kids of certain ages and on certain subjects.

Other preschool games your child might find amusing are fingerplays. It is fun and they will remember it for life.
