Websites
If your child loves animals like mine does, then he/she will love the National Geographic Little Kids site! How do I know? Because I have spent hours of my life watching animal videos and playing games on this site. My little Monkey loves it, and every time the door of his daddy’s home office opens just a crack, he hops up from whatever he is doing to run over to it, crying “Elfant! Elfant!” (a reference to Mama Mirabelle, an elephant cartoon). And it’s nice to know that when he gets older he can migrate to the site for older kids.
Jacquie Lawson e-cards are really something special. I kid you not, my little Monkey and I could spend hours on this website. He loves the dancing bears, the doggies, and the kitty cats. The music is lovely, as is the animation, and it’s hard to watch without a sense of wonder. Something really magical is her Advent Calendar, which is an entire interactive program you can download onto your computer, with a series of games and videos that gradually unfold as Christmas draws near.
