Fisher Price Online Games and
Activities:
http://www.fisher-price.com/us/playtime/

"Our online games and learning activities are a great way to spend quality time with your child. Each group of activities-for infants, toddlers, or preschoolers-requires a different level of keyboarding skill: for example, infant activities require little more than eager hands batting at the keyboard, while activities for toddlers and preschoolers involve a bit more thought, planning, and dexterity. Have fun, and let your child advance through them at his or her own pace! Invite your child to sit on your lap, or pull your chair up next to your child's and enjoy these online games and learning activities together."
