- by Jennifer_K3Hello, My 2 1/2 year old watches Leapfrog Letter Factory and loves it. It has really helped her learn the sounds each letter makes. She doesn't watch it that often but I know eventually she is going to want some variety. I am wondering if anyone knows of any other really good educational videos that […]

- by kmochetwyndMy almost 3-year-old watches her 6.5 year old brother and us play the Wii, and is begging to be allowed to play. Does anyone have a suggestion of a game that she wouldn't find too frustrating? She's at the point of throwing things when she can't do what she means to. 14 posts – 1 […]
- by gr8kids_1Hi moms! Does anyone have any experience with dungeons and dragons, particularly for the younger kids? My son is almost 9, loves fantasy (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Eragon)and is very imaginative. He is a strong reader, not so much in math. I have read that the basic game is doable down to 8 years old…I […]
- by Birdie_JMy daughter just got a DSi for Christmas and I'm looking for some good games for her. She'll be 7 in a month. I heard that Cooking Mama is good, but all the gamer review says it's kinda lame. Would #2 be that much better? Any other suggestions? Thanks! 4 posts – 1 participant Read […]
- by bethc_9My husband will be out hunting all weekend and so I want to fill the time by taking my two girls to do something. I was thinking the zoo, but would like some other alternatives. My girls are 2 and 9. Any suggestions?? 4 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
- by Lynn_NI am looking for some ideas for a weekend getaway for my family. We are MUCH in need of just getting out of town for a couple of days and since this is a long weekend, what better opportunity! I have looked around and like the idea of an indoor water park, I have also […]
- by cmcexpressionsHi all! I'm interested in getting some of my son's friends (a group of about 10, ages 5 – 11) together for some wintertime outdoor fun. Can you suggest a place (or park) where the kids can get out and just have some plain-old clean fun in the snow? Perhaps with some small hills for […]
- by MamaB_8My older kids love to play on the family computer. We have pretty much exhausted the PBS kids and Playhouse Disney websites and are looking for other fun and educational computer sites out there for preschoolers. I'm ideally looking for free sites, but if there are exceptional programs out there for sale I'd be interested […]
- by anitalherodI am a SAHM of 4 young children and my wonderful husband have an opportunity to have a "date" on Saturday (1-9pm). First outing without the kids since early November. My parents will be watching the kids. Any ideas for a relaxing day in Toledo Ohio? 2 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
- by joannegipsonSo, my husband and I are already a little tired of this Chicago weather and are looking to get away somewhere at least a little warmer within the next month. Trouble is, we don't want to fly with our one-year-old. Anyone have any suggestions on where we can drive for a little slightly warmer R&R […]
- by nedaran1Has anyone went to the new indoor play thing called "Snapper's" (I think) on Ekmwood Avenue, in Lafayette? I saw an advertisement on tv the other day, and am interested in learning more about it. Tried to look it up on-line and found nothing. 2 posts – 1 participant Read full topic
- by michelle_147we're going to disney world with our three kids, ages 5, 3, and 5 months. I'm wondering how things work logistically with a stroller? (it's a big sit n stand stroller, not an umbrella…) can you take the stroller on the monorail, steam train, bus, etc? when you want to ride something that babies are […]
- by MomJPWe just got Wii for Christmas and the whole family is enjoying it. My daughter who is almost 5 likes to try to play, but most of the games are too hard for her and she gets frustrated. She is pretty good at the bowling, and trying to get the hang of golf and tennis […]
- by Kristen_K2Well, pretty much this is a pathetic plea for friends LOL just kidding (sort of). It's always great to have friends that have kids because you can have "family" nights together (movies and dinner, movie night at home, taking turns making dinner at home, etc.) and it's also fun to have "adult" date nights without […]
- by Reina_MHello. For my son's 3rd birthday I bought him the "Leap Frog Click Start My First Computer". He loves playing it. My question is to those moms who have experience with this system. I went to help him use it b/c he was having problems and discovered that it is really hard to control the […]
- by kristendukephotographyWe all love the computer. So many great resources (including this forum) and ways to connect to others near and far. But how do you manage your time on the computer? I am trying to come up with a concrete goal to manage my time. I am all over doing things for myself, and an […]
- by Momnhergirls_OHi guys, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of a free or extremely cheap place where my play group could meet. Most are ages 1-3. We host them at each others homes every now and then, but would like to find something different. We've done bounce u, going bonkers, & amazing jakes, but […]
- by jlsheddAnd, not at my house! I have had lovely creative parties at home and I'm done with that for awhile. (last year we had an "Affair to Remember" theme, complete with tenting the living room in pink tulle and covering the walls in white paper…I'm a little burned out 🙂 Initially, she wanted to go […]
