Setting up a lappy for my daughter (6), looking for website fun, game and learning sites

[ProfessorFate]

Setting my daughter up with a laptop in her room. She's 6, pretty computer savvy and I'll set her up with some limited internet access.
Looking for suggestions for fun sites for her to visit and maybe learn a thing or two as well.

TIA, PF.

For setting the software side, you might also check the free software and kid / child software threads in Software forum (search).

As always, I recommend The Incredible Machine in its various incarnations, though sadly the $7 jewel case at Amazon is now sold out. There's also a new 3D successor at the www.GarageGames.com site, but I haven't tried it.
