I'm thinking of getting some computer games for my dd 3 (almost 4). She would absolutely love it!

Any suggestions?

We have one that is Little Bear and another with Blues Clues. There is also JumpStart Preschool. None of them require reading.

We really enjoy starfall.com I know it's online instead of a computer game, but DS1 can navigate it pretty much on his own now and since he loves letters it's right up his alley.

Ian (4) also loves Starfall and can do it by himself now. He also likes to use Photoshop to "paint pictures," which I like because it's not messy. Another fun online thing for him is Microsoft Worldwide Telescope. He loves space, and there are some neat little tutorials on there. Oh, and Youtube is entertaining for him, but a parent has to be right there to protect against inappropriate content ... Ian likes to watch music concerts, animated space simulations, and educational videos about ants and other bugs. It's all free and comes in nice, short, easily digested chunks for the 4yo attention span.

We also got him a Click Start last year for Christmas and he plays it sometimes. It's helped him with letter recognition and typing/mouse skills, but it's really not all that entertaining after a while and there aren't that many games for it.
