Question

Has anyone found any decent educational games for pre school age kids? Emma is 2 and blasts through the 18 months - 3 year stuff in minutes, but hasn't been able to cope with the 3+ stuff yet. Reader Rabbit is her fav. Does anyone know if you can still get Barney stuff?

I'm sure I saw Barney titles in Electronics Boutique the other day.

My son Alex (now 7) also liked Reader Rabbit, especially recording his own voice!!

Now, it depends on how you view "educational", but he liked Teletubbies, colouring type things, and then got onto adventures with me, so he learned about many cultures in Indiana Jones and the Infernal machine for example.

I only say that because sometimes we don't realise how much they learn from informal play, without them realising they are doing it. So don't forget to check the non educatonal bin too!

So Barry - Has he watched you play C/S and learnt how to run round aimlessley and attack people on his own side. Should stand him in good stead for school football

Ha ha, Mr Smith. How he laughed at our lift antics!! He said "is that deano in your way again?".

By the way, mortgage bloke who came was in fact a debt reconstruction type one, so we wait to hear what he might be able to do.

Any luck at EB Mr Bloke?

Debt reconstruction? sounds painful....
