Recommendation:

This site is playful and educational. There are many different games and activities to enhance a variety of early language and math skills. The site is fun, simply animated and contains a cast of characters children can get to know. Use the table of contents to see all the offerings the site has. There is a product for sale here - jellybeans. So beware of that area of that site.

Description:

From the website: "Chateau Meddybemps was created for two reasons: 1. (The serious reason) To enable parents and teachers to help young children strengthen learning skills in unique and playful ways. Rather than provide level after level of a particular type of activity, we simply encourage parents to use our site to explore the fun in learning. Discuss this. Play with that. Answer a riddle. Learn about letters of the alphabet. Count, color and create. Write a story. In all these activities, skills overlap. A child builds self-confidence, develops new abilities and enjoys learning. By using this site, you can participate, guide and share in the pleasures of discovery. By following this model, you can build skills using all sorts of materials in your child's environment. "2. (The playful reason) To share the characters and stories of the island of Meddybemps - because they're just too much fun to keep all to ourselves."

Possible uses:

Meddybemps is a resource for early reading and writing skills. Find activities to promote creative exploration of the alphabet. Students can complete story starters, play games, read stories online and find seasonal activities. This site can be recommended to parents to 'play' with at home, too.
