Online education tools can be a great introduction to education for pre-school children and can help them to find learning fun with interactive computer programs. Most of the applications are free and offer learning through games and activities which help children to count, develop language skills and learn their colours.

Children as young as 2 can enjoy the games, being supervised by an adult who can instruct them what to do and offer plenty of praise and encouragement. Obviously you don’t want them to constantly by on the computer but a bit of supervised time on the educational apps will help with their development and also give you a good opportunity to spend some one on one time with them.

For children of a school age the online educational tools are particularly useful if your child is struggling with a subject or not enjoying it. By playing interactive games they will be able to develop their skills and have fun at the same time.
