Websites for babies!

OK, I'm sitting typing this with my three month old daughter on my lap. She's facinated by the screen, especially if there's lots of colours and shapes moving about.

Any suggestions of any websites that might pass the 'Kimberley Test'(!) of baby friendly websites? I've tried a quick google, but it's all websites *about* babies...

I don't know of any babies websites right now but if you go to http://www.xmms.org/ , its got lots of flashing, annoying colors and stuff right now that she might find fun and entertaining..

It seemed to do the trick though! She'll grow up as a raver after that...

Well looks like XMMS.org has chilled out by now. I don't see any flashing.
