Top 10 Fun Websites
Family Fun magazine posted their top 10 fun websites in their September 2010 issue. My kids have tested them and love them all for different reasons. I felt like sharing so anyone who missed this great issue can still have the resources. I have listed them below:
- The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World - This website is for ages 7 and up and is a history based quest where kids help historical figures
- Funbrain - This website is for ages 6 and up. It has fun arcade games along with educational games.
- Kideos - This is for ages 3 and up. It has kid friendly videos (much safer than YouTube).
- NGAkids Art Zone - This website, for ages 7 and up, offers interactive activities from the National Gallery of Art.
- The Toymaker - For ages 5 and up, this website lets kids print and assemble fun paper toys.
- iTwixie - This website is for ages 8 and up and is a tween girl's social networking site.
- Exploratorium - For ages 8 and up, this is the website of the San Francisco science museum.
- Shidonni - Ages 3 and up. This website allows kids to draw a creature on screen and animate it. It is great for pre-readers too.
- Activity TV - This website is for ages 6 and up and offers kid friendly how-to videos.
