is often a question I think when we are stuck indoors with the kids! But we were introduced to the Disney Playhouse Website which had some really good games for kids about Emily's age. She really liked the Handy Manny - and she loved to play the Handy Manny Puzzle Pipes. The game involves her trying to fit the missing pipe and using the right tool to turn the water valve back on so the water can travel up the to tap. I was amazed she quicky got the hang of this game and now she loves it - plays it all the time we come to visit the website. I did manage to get her to look at some other games but she found the Flicker Lights the Way a little to difficult because instead of using the scroll pad on the laptop she had to use the up/down/left/right arrow keys which she's not too familiar with.
One other problem we had was that it took a little while for the website and games to run on our old XP machine, it was ok on the Vista laptop which is not great for playing games as we don't have a mouse attached to it. Still we got lots of other games to explore and if the weather turns miserable again we'll have another look at the other games.
