Here is a list of some fun, educational and parent approved websites for your child to visit and explore on rainy days. The best part is that they’re free! Let’s face it…on those rainy days, we all need a break!
1) Switcharoo Zoo – Build an online habitat and learn about animals through videos and games tailored to your child’s age group.

3) Into the Book – A place to practice reading strategies like visualization, comprehension and putting the pieces of a story together all while playing games.
4) Seaussville – Dive into Dr. Seuss’ world of imagination and learn more about each character through games, videos and audio books.
5) ABC YA – A place to practice math and reading skills tailored to your child’s age (K-5th Grades). My personal favorite that taught my child shapes, numbers and letters was “Fun with The Fridge”.
6) Fun Brain – A place to read books and comics and play reading and math games.
