Dr. Seuss storytime

Target is hosting a storytime this coming saturday (Feb 26th) from 9am to 11am. Its advertised as having giveaways, coupons, and Dr. Seuss stories read. I've seen these types of events at Target before, but never actually been to one - has anyone else? You can see all the details here.

Minimops


This is a cute little website, I don't remember now how I found it. There are not many games, 5 to be precise, but they are fun for my 3 year old (we found it when he was 2 and he really liked them then, he gets bored a little more quickly now).

Seussville



Thanks to the new Cat in the Hat show on PBS, child 1 has shown a big interest in all things Dr. Seuss. We recently discovered Seussville.com where there are a number of games and activities to support such an interest. Favorites so far are the A-maze-ing Green Eggs and Ham game (which he is surprisingly really good at) and Horton hears a Tune (the Monkey See Monkey Do game). He also loves to create his own "who". There are also a number of printable coloring/activity pages that look fun (we've done a couple), and a few video clips.

This site seems like a good one for slightly older children too (like early elementary I'm guessing). Preschool would be on the low end of the ages that would be able to play the games and still find it fun.

Registration is not required to play anything, but if you do register (free) you can save your "who" and earn dooklas which you can use to get more who accessories. There may be other advantages to registration I am unaware of yet.

What is this?

This is a blog that is mostly for me - to organize/remember the fun things I do with my kids, and to have an easy start point to all the games played online. If it helps someone else in the process - fantastic!
I will have 3 general catagories most of my posts will fall under: free (or nearly so) things to do in Pittsburgh, free (or nearly so) things to do at or around home, and free (or nearly so) children's games online.
Most will be geared toward children of the ages that I have living in my home (so toddler and preschool right now) but I'll also probably occasionaly post other fun/interesting things I find that will apply to other ages.
Lets see what happens...
