PBSKids.org

This site is provides games and activities both on-line and off line for children of primarily 3 years and older.  For the younger group, the website revolves around the television programs that PBS airs throughout the week and helps to extend the ideas learned during the shows. 

Since some of the PBS shows revolve around classic stories, by integrating shows, the books and the activities on the web, the children are receiving the same characters and story through different mediums. Even if parents are leery of the use of computers at such a young age, each activity provides non-computer ideas to go along with the episode. 

While not in my top 10 website, this one is definitely in the top 20 for its integrated approach to learning and the appropriate shows it provides.
