If your child is interested in online activities, check out this site called StoryPlace. They call themselves "The Children's Digital Library" and have two main sections, pre-school and elementary.
This site is very colourful and easy to navigate. It contains many short stories that the child can read online on his own (read: minimal help from mum!) as they are very simple with short sentences, colourful graphics and arrow prompts for the child to click on to go to the next page.
Besides stories, it also has online activities and print-out ones, plus a reading list of recommended books and activities for parents to have with their kids. There are lots of themes for the child to choose from to read or play, such as animals, music, shapes, colours, bath time, etc.
So if you run out of ideas to keep your child quiet yet doing something productive when he is not napping, check out this kid-safe and kid-friendly website. I'm glad I found it and would certainly get my daughter on this site the next time she asks for a 'computer game'.
