I use a bunch of free resources for the children and thought it was time I shared them.
One of the children's favorite sites is:
(as a side note, they now have a "sister site" called more.starfall.com. For a low membership fee your child can go beyond learning to read. It includes math and colors. Your child can build 3 letter C-V-C words with their word machine. They have motions songs, nursery rhyme videos and historical folk songs. I just love the site and think it is worth every penny)

Another site the children love is Sesame Street.
Every week they have a different theme that you will find on their home page. There are games and quite a few muppets have their own page with lots of different educational games. Some topics your child will learn include:
patterns
sorting
alphabet
numbers
I love that each muppet's page lists facts about the muppet, like birthday, description and favorites.

I have made some great worksheets for handwriting at Handwriting for Kids
They have worksheet makers so you can customize your own worksheets. I have made number worksheets, calendars and traceable vocabulary words.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Handwritingworksheets.com is another site for handwriting worksheets. You can choose Print, D'Nealian or Cursive. You can create Sentence, Single Word, Multi-word or paragraph. You type in the words you want your child to trace and it prints out Dot Trace Practice Sheets
