There was a thread a couple of years ago with various free online games geared roughly toward ages 3-6.  I was hoping maybe there were some new ones that had popped up and I'd love a new go to list that has been used and loved by other unschoolers.  I know apps are so easy these days but am hoping for some new websites we can access through our Wii and extra laptop.  So far we've enjoyed the likes of Poisson Rouge and Tibao along with a bit of the free Starfall stuff. 

Thanks so much for any ideas!

I second the recommendation for Friv. It has a wide variety of great games.

Our favourite was a two player called ice and fire :)

Marta Pires knows of many! She suggested some when I was staying with my son, Kirby, just as a five-year-old girl came to live with them full time.

She liked Playhome best, of those Marta recommended.
(Marta, sorry to ask again, but...)

There's one called Bees HD that I played with a seven year old boy for a few weeks one summer.

Flow Free will work for all ages.

Depending on the child's interests, FlipPix Art or FlipPix Puzzles might be fun, too. Leave it on 5x5, probably. (But for adults... that's a great game.)

Here are some of the sites that have tons of games that my daughter (5 years old) has liked to played with:
http://www.sproutonline.com/games
http://www.disneyjunior.ca/en/games

I'll try to look up some more tomorrow.

As for some iPad apps (I believe all of them were free), here's our list of favorites:
My Boo
Spy Mouse
Fruit Ninja
Toca Builders
Talking Tom, Ben, Ginger, etc.
Granny Smith
Cut the Rope
Clumsy Ninja
My Sandwich Shop
Snoopy Coaster 
Hill Climb
Dinorama
Animal Line
Cookie Shop
Rayman Run
Pocket Frogs
Bad Piggies
Papa Pear
Clay Jam
Paint Joy
Banana Kong
Any apps from Bluebear (like Cotton Candy, Ice Cream...)
Any apps from TabTale
And you can also look for Hello Kitty apps, Barbie apps. Maybe search for hairdressing apps and makeup apps. Conchinha loves them too and has tons of them.
