3.5 year olds -Fun & Educational Computer Stuff?

[snagito]

My little boy is starting to show a huge interest in the computer!

I would like to get him some fun but reasonably educational and interesting stuff to play with on the computer. What would you recommend - what do your little ones enjoy? He is 3 and a half.

Thank you very much for all your suggestions.

pbskids.org has great online educational games, especially super why, word world, curious george. and between the lions. also check out Home - Sesame Street.
the nickjr.com games are entertaining but not overwhelmingly educational.

we are going on holiday where there will be a rather poor internet connection..so i'm also looking for dvds that i can buy as there will be a computer where we are staying. thank you so much for any recommendations!

Another great computer site that we LOVE is Starfall.

Kiddie Treasures: Starfall

Not a computer game, but something you can take with you when you travel - Mighty Mind.

Kiddie Treasures: Mighty Mind? / Super Mind?

Grateful for all other travel suggestions
