Aldo's Pianito 2.1 seems quite good and it's free. There is a "Kids Zone" with lots of links to other sites as well as mouse, keyboard and clipboard utilities.

This very funny piano simulator is great for children and learning!!!! It's totally FREE... you require VB5 Runtime (msvbvm50.dll). This piano features 128 different instruments, Save up to 8 songs, 3 Example Songs, Unlimited song lenght saved with instruments, Replay with a single key pressing CTRL, All piano keyboard mapped to your PC (use SHIFT to play one octave down). Version 2.1 allows you to play perfect Chords pressing a single key. Keyboard letters now can be displayed in the piano keyboard. 14 Different types of chords are preset!!! The *new* "Robot Player" will play in duet with you bringing melody to your song. Play 2 instruments simultaneously pressing Alt to play with the alternate instrument. Use the Function keys to select one of the 12 preset instruments. Now you can play while recorded songs are playing, so now you can be your own orchestra. Tempo let you increase/decrease the speed of recorded songs and reverberation is now optional. Use the PgUp/PgDn keys to change of instruments sequentially or use Esc for mute.

Kraft DaisyMaths is a program designed to help young Australians to enjoy learning maths. It is specially made to be free, informative, and fun for Australian kids.

Kraft DaisyMaths was originally designed by an Australian professor of maths, Professor Myles Harding, to help his young daughter (Daisy) understand the basic concepts of mathematics. Through the hard work of Professor Harding and with the support of Kraft Foods Ltd, Kraft DaisyMaths is now available for all children that are educated in Australia, especially children aged 3 to 8. Professor Harding and Kraft are dedicated to the further development of the Kraft DaisyMaths program and are currently working on activities for older children.

This is a game which teaches simple Keyboard and Mouse Skills. It can be used as a simple "keyboard banger" as any key press changes the background color (as do any mouse clicks clicks). A mouse trail follows the mouse to make it easier to see where the mouse is. There are two versions (both require Internet Explorer - for now) a straight HTML based game and a more powerful HTA (Windows html application) version. The HTA version covers the whole screen and has no browser controls to maximise safety (of your computer!). It also ensures that the mouse does not go off the screen (a common fault with most kids games).

This game has a theme of animals (the download also shows you how you can actually create your own variations - for example shapes). Graphics are randomly selected and placed in random positions, every minute the screen is redrawn. When the mouse is moved over a graphic the approprate sound is produced and a "tooltip" description is displayed.

A very large list of free games for toddlers or older kids. A lot of old DOS stuff and a lot of stuff that will still run on latest Windows.

I initially ignored screen savers however these can be directly executed without having to wait for inactivity or the use of "control panel" etc. The "bear in the big blue house" is quite good.

About these Bookmarks

These bookmarks are of subjects or products I find useful (or think I may in the future). I never link to a site as a pre-condition for them linking to me! As I use Windows I am mainly interested in software for this operating system. Where good free software exists I generally only list the free software (I list some shareware and even some commercial software where it is exceptional).

If you have some completely free software (no adware and without timeouts or major restrictions) which you would like listed then please email me:

The URL (direct to resource's page) - not to the download.
A proposed category (existing one if possible)
A short description

To bypass my SPAM filter the subject should begin "SUGGESTED LINK:".

Creating These Book Mark Pages

This page was automatically created from Windows internet shortcuts (or favorites) created with IE or Netscape (OS/2 WPS URLs can also be imported). You can comment any link or category and just about anything can be changed (links don't even need to be in tables). PPWIZARD, a free tool for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix or OS/2 built these pages using this source code .

All URLs are checked periodically using the my free URL validation tool (for Windows and OS/2). This ensures that very few if any links point to moved pages or return 404 errors etc.
