Great Online Game List

I came across a site with online games listed by age for young children. Talking Child offers a list of online games for children aged 1 through 6 years. There are not lots to choose from, but there are some suggestions. Online games can be great to help your child develop those "mouse" related skills and learn cause and effect. Many of the baby games only require a child to tap the keyboard. My children have both loved finding new things to do on Mommy's computer.

Family Finance Solutions

I found a great resource for families for finance information and tips called Finance Genius. You can learn to manage your finances, calculate mortgage payments, learn your debt to income ratio, and find out more about getting Used Car Warranty. This user friendly site helps family find financial options for family spending and helps to provide knowledge and understanding to help families make solid financial decisions. There is even a college saving calculator!

Most families lack knowledge of how to manage finances, budget, and when to purchase warranties like for a used car. Finance Genius gives you plenty of information to understand when and why you should invest in this type of coverage. Overall, the site had lots of great information. I am going to spend some time learning to become a Financial Genius!

Jars and Lids

Allowing your child to play with jars and lids is great for fine motor skill coordination and spatial skills. Give your child a variety of screw on or push on lids with a variety of containers. Allow your child to experiment and find which jar goes with which lid. Make sure that you use safe containers, like plastic, instead of glass. Water bottles, soap bottles, ketchup and mayo containers, and other recyclable materials can be used. This can provide hours of entertainment for your little ones.
