I have spent hours on YouTube looking for classic nursery rhymes for my son who is now two+, attending pre-nursery school and a frequent visitor to my blogging office.

While nursery rhymes on YouTube keep him busy, there’s a much better alternative that will will also help in school and it’s called Kindersay.
Kindersay is probably the best website on the planet for young kids to help them learn English words on their own. They show a self running picture slideshow of animals, alphabets, fruits and other things that kindergarten child can easily recognize.
If you have a dual computer screen, you can open Kindersay website on one screen so your kid is learning something good and new while your are not disturbed. Watch the video above that shows my son enjoy Kindersay.
Thanks Mike for such an awesome find - all mommies will love this.

For years, all of my grandchildren and my friends’ children have immersed themselves for endless hours at http://www.UpToTen.com, with a section for kids under 6 and one for kids 6 to 10. For many years it was entirely ad-free. Now, most content is free with a simple side ad panel, but their $45 annual subscription is well worth the ad-free presentation and much additional content.
Created by folks from a French Pacific island, all content is offered in English and French. It offers thousands of pages of games, mazes, songs, stories, videos, and segments from their TV program. It has deservedly won numerous educational awards, and I give it the highest recommendation.
As their site says: 4 million site visits, 70 million pageviews from 200+ countries. Enjoy.
Depending on how good his English is cbeebies is far and away the best website for very young children. My boy was hooked on the website from around 18 months old.
