Sorting, problem solving, and matching:
Here we are using puzzle cards. They have 3 pieces to every picture. I've laid out the cards in random order and had Fluttershy first pick out the three that look alike, and then put the cards in order so that they make the picture. This is a really good activity to help them learn learn problem solving.

Computer Time
Both my girls love to play on the computer. I've found some really neat games that are age appropriate for both girls.
Youtube.com great resource for learning videos. This one is the
Days of the week.
Fluttershy likes to sing along with the video.
Aven's Corner has Counting, mouse control, shapes, keyboard learning.
There's a cute game in there we love that is like the old asteroids game. But in stead of just shooting the asteroids, each has a letter on it and to shoot it you have to press the same letter on the keyboard. There is a kids and adult version of this game and I'd have to say the adult version is pretty hard. You have to type words instead of letters. It's fun to try though.
Zac the Rat. A Starfall.com book. Starfall has many fun interactive video for kids. This one tells a story that has animations as well as if you click on the words it sounds them out for you.
Bubbles
Free Play in the kitchen sink. I provided the water, bubbles, cups, whisk, and sponges. And they created the games. Rarity needed a clothing change afterward, but they had lots of fun. Note: next time I will place a towel under their chairs. Messy, but worth it.
I love how much you do with your children at home! It's nice to know not all parents park their children in front of the TV to "keep them out their hair". I admire you :) Following you from cafemom
