i know for me i dont think that these games would be educational for toddlers because they arent into learnering. i think the play online gaming because of pure entertainment.
i think advatanges are for more of kids that are possible in pre-k and up. that is the age for young kids to start exploring with online eucational games. i think games that have characters such as Dora are great. because she is something that young kids pay attention to.
