Holiday Linkage

The time of year has come when my boys start asking me, "Can we see that one thing on the computer that does the thing with the pie?  You know, that thing?"

And thankfully, because I am their mother, I know exactly what they are talking about.

I have a few links I want to direct you to because you your children will love to play with them.

These first few are actually interactive e-cards, and my kids are obsessed.

This one is a Halloween one.  (There is a part that might be a little scary for smaller children, and a tiny part that some people might think a bit irreverent.  Watch it yourself first, and if you groan with annoyance, know that your children are gonna LOVE it.)

This is the Thanksgiving one.  (The one with the pie that Aidan asks for on a regular basis.)

There are two Christmas ones, here and here.  (The first one is more religious.  The second one is more snowman-y secular.)

Want to play hangman with a skeleton who talks back?  Click here.

And do you want something that is actually useful, educational, enjoyable (Ethan asks if he can "play" this), and has nothing to do with holidays?  This website is really cool.

If you have any links that you know my kids will love (whether I will hate them or not is irrelevant), leave a comment.

Enjoy!

I like the math site! I haven't seen that one before. I'll have to use it.
The Halloween one would give my kids too many excuses to pretend being scared at night (or really be scared) - I think I'll wait. There's nothing worse than kids having new excuses to get out of bed.

We don't do a lot, mostly starfall.com and the Pbs.org Wild Kratts games.
