Thanks for the suggestion about netflix. My husband is a tech geek and he built a computer to hook up to our tv along time ago and we've been using netflix play intantly for years and love it. I play sesame street almost everyday while im making lunch. It's great.

I love the Wii.
We have had ours since it first came out! It is very kid friendly as the other consoles, which we also have, are more for teens and adults.
The Wii offers exercise for those too cold or wet days and when it is too hot to go out and play for long periods.
My dck's love the dance games but their favorite is sports.
The children learn to take turns with the playing and who gets to pick which game.
It is physical so it is great for motor skills.
The children do have to earn the right to play. So this helps with behavior.
My children are grown but 3 still live at home and its fun to have family fun with the older ones. And my 6 year old grandson can kick my butt at almost all the games. He loves playing me
and I love the time and bonding we have together.
I think you will totally enjoy a Wii.Comment

I have a Wii also, the oldest kids are 3.5 and they play a little bit but it doesn't hold their attention much- they prefer the leapster explorer. We use it mostly for Netflix, which they also love. There are some good leapfrog phonics vids on now that they are learning a lot from, and Word World is a big favorite too!Comment

I have one and the kids LOVE it. Winters get long in SD and they need something to do to get moving. They have to stand on the tape spots on the floor so they aren't hitting anyone else. I have enough remotes for the older ones to have a 'real' remote. And I bought some 'fake/candy' ones at Walgreens for the little ones who can't play but just want to be part of the action. Totall made them look real too by adding my name to the back of them like I've done with my real ones and put a strong on it to put around their hand! Some of the 3 yr olds haven't figured out they aren't real yet. We don't play all the time but when I get the sense they need to move we get out Wii Dance Kids and that takes care of their craziness.
And they know, if they fight over the remotes, the tv goes off. It's a special treat for them so they behaveComment

I have Zumba II and it is cool. I have only used it once and had it for like 2 weeks, but that is not because its boring! My husband went nuts trying to decide between the PS and XBox. Finally got the XBox and all he uses it for is Netflix!Comment

Only two of my DCB's are allowed to use our wii. The rest of the kids are too young or too rough on toys for me to take the chance. They play it maybe once a month for an hour if it's yucky out and they're driving me crazy and the rough kids aren't here. It doesn't happen often.
