hi all, i was wondering if you can help me.
i am looking for fun and educational games that i can play with lucy, and for some of you that don't know lucy is four, so the games wood have to be suitable. they also need to work with jaws at that is what i use. it wood be good if they had some kind of graphics so that she will not lose interest.
maybe some lettre games, story based ones, i am not shore what is out there so i am open to ideas. you can leave me a message hear or email me, my email address is in my profile. but it is lindseyholness@sudar.co.uk
thanks verry much and i hope that some one out there has some ideas.
Is there an early learning centre near you they will have ezxcellent ideas on how to keep Lucy occupied, or alternatively, you could ask her what she feels like doing.Painting is one way of occupying a child I'd try adding dried rice, or lentils to the paint, for texture and effect.
Greetings Lindsey,
Right now I am going with what I enjoyed as a child…and that would be the working and playing with clay like Play Dough, as an example. I realize there are some homemade types but whatever, the working with clay and making shapes from people to buildings to boxes and just where imagination leads can be so much fun and entertaining. There can be additional materials added like pipe cleaners that could be used as arms and legs where a body and head is made of say clay while too fabrics could be added to represent cloths.
Besides clay play is not just for kids or maybe I should rather say it is for kids of all ages…I know I still enjoy working with clay from time to time and then there too are say pottery classes that are offered and again for folks and kids too *smile ….of all ages.
To all good playtime fun with Lucy. Yeah!

Hi.
If you go to http://kids.vipgameszone.com/ you can find three programmes for children and they are free. One is about learning the keyboard, the other one about learning the alphabet and the third one about maths.
I hope you find them useful.

Is it only computer games you're looking for? I enjoyed playing with play doh as well and definitely ask Lucy what she likes, whether it's music or movies or art or what have you. My parents and I sang along with a lot of silly songs and videos and danced around the house a lot. I also liked playing doctor. I had a doctor kit and would always be doing some kind of operation on my dolls and stuffed animals. You can probably google for lots of arts and crafts things for kids to do as well as traditional games that don't involve the computer.
thanks all. all the ideas are grate, yes lucy loves all the messy thing, hay so do i lol. but i wood like some computer ideas, as she is learning at nursery, but htat is about to stop in june for summer break, and i was hoping to find some things on the computer that we can do together.
did you ever try funbrain.com?
grate site for learning games
I find children adore getting filthy..smile
I always liked playing with the legos when I smaller. legos are awesome, I still build shit out them til this day. I know for smaller children they make larger lego blocks or at least they use to. I'm not sure about that now but I'm sure they still might.
I used to make cars, buildings, and etc. out of them. It's helps build the imagination kinda like what CG's idea of the play dough was. It's not quite as messy as play dough is either but hey, I have nothing against messy things like play dough. I use to make stuff out of that to.
I loved lego and Rosey if you dont mind getting really dirty, making models with papier mache is tremendous fun for a small child, as their imagination just runs riot and the results can be painted and go on show to be admired by your visitors..
Legos! Yes, I had forgotten all about them till you jarred my memory Divine Dragon. I remember one time I had made purchase of some to give as a gift…hardly got around to giving them as a gift as I played with them over and again. I did not have them as a child and so when finally had opportunity to play and create with them I had such the hard time putting them down. Legos! Great fun indeed.
your all having such grate ideas, i feel though that i am not verry creative lol. i loved paper mashea too. i am going to have to go shopping and get some bits for this summer, you have all been grate, wish that some of you could come and play too. i find the more the merrier lol keep the ideas coming and thanks again

There is a sight www.gamesfortheblind.com. If I remember correctly they have some games that your daughter might be able to play. I seem to remember that they have a simon says game where you match the ever-increasingly difficult tone patterns.

well, she can play with cilly puddy also.
She can also play games that are sold in toys arouse.
especially the leap frog ones also.
also, invite her into the zonebbs.com
heheheheh
Try Lincoln Logs, if those are still made. Interlocking pieces should keep her busy for hours. Most of these ideas really bring back memories.
