Anyone have any Mac (up to OS 9) games suitable for an almost six year old? She has her own computer, and we have some freeware games on it for now.

We are going to buy her some new educational/fun games for her birthday (in April). However, if someone has a game or two that their child has grown out of, or whatnot, we would appreciate it! Want to get her really interested in the computer, and get her used to the mouse, keyboard in the next month!

TIA!

I don't have a Mac, sorry. My daughter goes to barbie.com and also nickjr.com. There are great games on there. I can't believe how great she is with navigating and using the mouse. She is only 5 years old and she is a little pro! The puzzles on barbie really get their fine motor skills working!http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif

Yahoo! has a lot of fun games...go to YahooKids...Yahooligans. My kids love the interactive games on there.

I think all my kid's games are for Windows only...there might be a few that are also compatible with Macintosh. I'll check.

I just hooked it up. Haven't put the internet connection on yet. I am a little weary of putting her on the internet. The Mac is in her room (we have too many computers (all Windows except hers).

Maybe we will try out the net on Wednesday, tomorrow is dance class.

Thanks for the advice.. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif
