Just wanted to say that my 2YO bounced hard off Sago Mini games for whatever reason, but was pretty into stuff by Bimi Boo. It seems kinda similar (chill, cute, no ads, some educational value in shape/colour/etc matching).

Just noticed this section, and wanted to add that handheld retro gaming consoles work very well for this too. They're pretty cheap, can emulate anything up to a PS1, and allow you to save state at any time so they're easy to put down. I played through a large chunk of Earthbound and FFVI with a sleeping baby strapped to my chest. There's a great thread that goes into those: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3937810

Jose Valasquez posted:My 3 year old loves the PBS Kids Games app on iOS. It's got probably a hundred plus "games" of various difficulties, a lot of simple stuff like dress up or really easy hide and seek games, but some are much more involved and would still be good for kids a year or two older too. It's all free and there are no in app purchases. Region restricted to the US, sadly. Not sure I really understand why -- it's not like they're selling it elsewhere? I guess it costs money to put a free app on the stores?

~Coxy posted:This is stretching the scope of the thread a bit but does anyone have any good recommendations for free image libraries? In general, it's better to find a curated, trusted site and search within that than GIS. Wikimedia Commons is great for photos, maps, art, etc. It's all free, moderated, and represents a pretty broad cross-section of topics. If you want icons, try the Noun Project. The free version comes with watermarks in the corner, but you can easily remove them in Inkscape. For more advanced clip art, I'm not as sure, but freepik.com seems like an option?

Lutha Mahtin posted:wikimedia commons is full of self-made fetish/porno photography, gruesome injury pictures, documentary evidence of genocide/war, all kinds of nasty stuff. why would you suggest it for someone who wants clean and safe image browsing options for their kids. seriously what the gently caress I mean, a) I don't doubt that stuff is there, but I've never seen it, most likely because I haven't gone searching for it, but b) all that stuff is equally available at the local library, if you really look for it. Like, are you gonna ban your kid from the library and from Wikipedia because they might see some titillating art or learn about the Holocaust? The OP was asking for an alternative to GIS, which was linking to sites that barraged their kid with ads for porn and obvious malware with every search. WMC is going to give them that.

Lol we've played Count your Chickens with our 3YO, and it has a lot of tokens to lose. But losing the tokens just makes the game easier, so for his age it's actually fine? I think it's calibrated so that you only have about a 50% chance of winning (and winning is pure chance) so I'm fine with increasing that. The game is really about teaching counting and turn taking anyway.
