Free Online Baby Games

The computers and the internet are really famous these days. Actually they are not even a trend, they have become a part of our lives. Most of the people from the developed countries are using almost every day a computer and they are accessing the internet. They are using it for many activities, both for working and for their personal amusement. There are many fun activities that you can do on the internet, and one of them is to play a free online game.

These are simple but also cool games, made with the flash technology. They have quite a simple graphic and simple controls, and they can be really fun and addictive. There are so many kinds of games like this, some are for kids while others for adults but most of them are for every person no matter their age. There are many sites offering these kinds of games, and usually they have the games sorted on categories. Some of the most popular game categories are: racing games, sport games, RPG games, shooting games, fighting games, puzzle games and others. But not all the games are funny or silly, there are some more serious games too. And in this category you can find the educational games for kids. There are games for all the ages, from babies to toddlers and bigger kids. In these ones they can learn all sort of useful things, for example the alphabet, how to count, they can learn the names of different objects and animals, they can learn math, chemistry and many more other things.

So let’s pick some free online baby games, and discuss more about each one. Of course these games can’t be played by the kids on their own, so there is required that a parent or an adult should be with them, and show them exactly what and how to do. And of course don’t let your child spend too much hours at the computer, because he will do this anyway when he will grow older, and you don’t want to ruin his eyes from such a young age. So now let’s take some random educational games for kids and present them. A site where you will find some is : http://www.fisher-price.com. Here there are games for different ages. Let’s begin with the one called “Count the score”. First you will have to choose (of course let your child pick) an animal. There are three animals, each representing a different sport. The cat will play soccer, the dog will play American football and the penguin plays hockey. After choosing the sport you will have to choose the countdown and this can be up to 5, 10 or 20. No matter which sport you will choose, the cute little animals will score goals, and at each goal your child will see and hear the pronunciation of that specific number. This way your child will learn all the numbers up to 20. For the first day you can choose one of the sports and learn how to count to 5, then another sport and count up to 10 and then the other sport and count up to 20. Have fun!

Another fun game for the kids is the one called “Bubble pop game”. Even though this is not an educational games, it can still be fun to play for your child. There will be a bubble mower that will blow bubbles across the screen. You will have to click on the balloons and make them pop and not let them fly away. Each pop brings you a point and of course you will have to make as many points as possible, before the time runs out.

Another fun and interactive game is the one called “Little people Eddie’s story”. In this game your child will feel like he is a part of the story. First write the name of your kid, and choose his favorite animal (between a puppy, a cat , a pony or a gold fish). After that, there will be a story presented. Even though it is short it is quite nice, and the name of your child and his favorite animal will automatically appear in the story. If your child loved the story, you can print it and read it to him whenever he wants.

On the site you will also find a lot of coloring games, some that are printable and some that can be played directly on the site. The printable games are a much simpler and cheaper alternative instead of buying a coloring book. There will be all sort of images for your child to color, and some are also educational containing numbers, shapes, letters and so on. The “Click and color” game is the online version of a coloring page, and here you will choose the color using the mouse, and also paint the image using the mouse. But is it much simpler, because you will just have to make a simple click, and the surface will automatically fill with that color. So there is no need to be really careful at the coloring process, and to avoid crossing the edges and so on.

Another learning game, that will teach your child the alphabet is the “ABC ‘ s Zoo learning game”. When entering the game you will first hear the famous alphabet song. Then you will have to press on a letter from the keyboard, or click on one. When choosing a letter, your child will hear the pronunciation of that letter, and also see an image with an animal starting with that letter. For example when you press the C key you will see a camel, or when pressing the S key there will be a seal. With this fun game the kids will learn the alphabet and also different kinds of animals.

And the last game we are going to discuss about today is the “Musical instruments game”. In this one you will first choose between one of these 4 famous songs: “The ABC song”. “The itsy bitsy spider”, “The wheels on the bus” or “This old man”. Then you will see a musical band composed of cute animals, and each one will play at a different instrument. Just by clicking on them, you can start or stop each one. So you can get just an instrument to play individually, or combine 2 of 3 of them, or make all of them sing at the same time. Some of the instruments found in this game are a guitar, an organ, the bass and others. Actually each song has it’s own instruments, so it is best to try all of the songs. This game can be really fun, especially for the kids that have a passion on music. Thanks to this game they can learn how different instruments sound, and how they sound combined together. Have fun!
