They have fun games and stories, and since it's PBS there is a good parents resource center as well. A few months I helped get him started on a game, only to come back in a few minutes to find him easily navigating in and out of various sections on the page. I was proud. As always, I enjoy your posts... thanks My 3 year old has been playing around on

The site's founders wanted to create a place they'd feel comfortable letting their own children visit and they feel strongly about keeping it ad-free. Although I do work for Club Penguin, I'm also a Mom, and I really appreciate the fact that my kids can waddle around Club Penguin and get a break from the marketing which otherwise bombards them at every turn in their busy, modern lives!

I am pleased to announce that after playing just three times it's now like crack to them - they beg and plead to play again as soon as possible. Thanks, I think. =) Re: Club Penguin, after reading this post I showed it to my kids (ages 6 and 8).

I had my 6th graders "test it out to see if it was something that the younger students would like." 45 minutes of putting capital letters and periods in the correct places, they told me that they did think the younger students would benefit from it. I haven't looked through much of the rest of the site yet, but my students really like to play the games on the SmartBoard. http://www.roythezebra.com/
