Your preschooler, aged 2 to 5 years, is much too sophisticated to play those baby games for long. She'll be much more interested in these free online computer games for preschoolers and young children. These kids' games work on Windows, Mac and Linux. She's learning new knowledge and practicing new skills all the time. Playing with these games will be no exception. So sit her on your lap or sit next to her, and be the cheerleader of her efforts. Share these games with her the same way you would share a good picture book. We recommend that you maximize the browser window to make it easier for her, so that wherever she clicks, it will be inside the game screen.

...parenting tip of the moment
The key parenting skill you need to develop when entertaining your new child is the ability to Distract. If they get bored, or scared, or cry for any reason,...misdirect their simple little minds elsewhere. For starters, show them something. Anything.
"Look, a fuzzy tiger."
They will most likely stop crying and evaluate this new information.
"Hmmm, a tiger, I hadn't realized that..."
"Yes, a tiger...look...see the tiger?..."
"Well, (sniffle) my stomach was hurting..."
"I know, I know..."
"But... a tiger, you say..."
"Yes, a tiger. Right here. Here is a tiger..."
It doesn't even have to be as interesting as a tiger. Any physical item that is currently on the planet and within reach will do.
"Look, the cap to Daddy's water bottle...see...plastic...and white...isn't that something? And here are some keys."
They're willing to seriously consider whatever you have to offer.

Small children should be supervised by a caregiver when at a computer,
to ensure no accidents occur that could hurt the child and that no equipment gets broken.
