Games and activities:
Julia's Rainbow Corner
VERY easy to navigate by rolling over icons to hear where they lead. Many games that don't require specialized knowledge and then some that do, like Connect the Dots. This site does not have ads and promotes environmentally conscious behaviour - what more could I ask while I get the dishes done! :-)
UPtoTEN.com
At first glance very simle but challenging enough to hold their attention - this is just a sample of the great games at this site. Boowa and Kwala : Boowa's shell game.
Scooby Doo free online games - not an ad site, the real deal.
Learn the alphabet online
This is a very educational online game that teaches both the alphabet and the corresponding phonetic sounds.
Thoroughly enjoyed by both a 6 and 4 year old.
Starfall alphabet online reading game
Angelina Ballerina must be the sweetest little mouse cartoon I have ever seen!
If you have been looking for Thomas the Tank Engine online games - look no further!
Some of the games are perfect for the older preschooler, requiring the use of the arrow keys - we're looking for ways of teaching kids keyboard skills - send us YOUR tip today!
My personal favorite craft site: Art Attack
Kidscomjr.com
Here is a simple way to introduce your baby to the click and drag concept with something he's probably already familiar with - Building Blocks. You can rotate the blocks, too!
They have one of the BEST online coloring games - so simple, you can even try your older infant out on this one!
Storyplace
This site is laid out in a new way - there are stories, online activities, off-line activities and crafts all in a related theme. There are two age groups Preschooler and Elementary. Very interesting and a great novelty - my daughter loved Baby Gorilla Goes Shopping, 5 Hungry Crocodiles, and the fun print out craft, Paper Teddy Bear.
NickJr.com - Free games for kids of all ages
Highly entertaining, this site offers Blues Clues games, colouring pages and even short clips! Dora The Explorer makes her home here, too. They also have an extensive library of stories which are fun to watch with your child but which are also easy enough that your little one can "read" it on their own for a couple of minutes.

Infants:
Wow! I didn't think I'd relish reviewing infant games but Sparkling Symphony is really cute and my"just gotta touch the keyboard" baby loved it! There are several "bash" games out there (send in your reviews for our upcoming newsletter) but the Tap and Color game actually give baby sister a chance to colour on the computer just like her big sister! Plus it states the color being added - for all that, it wins the Mostly Mommies' big thumbs up for the infant online game category.
Polly Pocket
La-la-la-la-Polly... Great games for girls.
Bob the Builder
Can we fix it? YES, we can! Boys and girls alike will enjoy these colourful games.
Sesame Street
Brought to you by the letters "M" (for "Mom", of course) and "G" (for "great"). This site is simply amazing - the games my 3 year old loves include Elmo's Laundry Sorting Game and Elmo's World - Mr. Noodle walks the dogs game.
Noggin
Noggin: Commercial-free TV for preschoolers. If your toddler enjoys the occasional
Franklin 
, or one of many other kids' shows, this site has some great games and short episodes (for those with reliable, speedy internet connections) for online viewing - all commercial free.

Mostly Mommies games
Space Invaders
The classic, Space Invaders! It uses the left and right mouse buttons to move your ship (Mac users won't be able to use their no button mouse) and the spacebar to fire. This game is essentially non-violent and there are no intense graphics. If you run in to any problems or if you have suggestions, email us!
Play Space Invaders
Memory
Oddly enough, I remember this game being called Simon Says! The computer will flash the lights in a certain order that you will try to remember and play back. Very simple and yet it will hold the attention of most toddlers for at least long enough for Mommy to cut up some fresh apple!
