Fun and Safe Online Games for Kids
Computers are a great source of entertainment, but as a parent I want to make sure when my kids use the computer they are doing so safely.
Below I have come up with some websites that are not only safe, but fun for kids too!
It's a good idea to sit with your child while they explore a new site. Many game websites have a "parent's area" so you can learn more about what they do to ensure your child's safety.
*Note* - I know Webkinz is an awesome website for kids. I purposely left that one off because you cannot just go there and play without buying the plush animal first. The sites below can be accessed without prior purchase.
