Best Kids Websites for 2008 - The Redhead Award

This year, several kids websites (aka 'destinations'/'communities') made some waves and real money.
As kids are getting more sophisticated, the site's content and experience has to improve and be innovative.
While others created lists based on grown-up 'experts' or excel sheets ($$$), I went to my expert for an one-on-one interview.

These are the best kids websites for 2008 - as selected by my very own redhead, Danielle:

---

www.moshimonsters.com

---

www.clubpenguin.com

---

www.webkinz.com

---

www.LEGO.com

---

www.tutpup.com

As she has an opinion (or two...) about anything, let me know if you would like to read/see more lists by Danielle.

Competitive Learning: tutpup.com

Based on the good feedback I received on the 'Do the Math' post , I decided to recommend another great website.

http://tutpup.com focuses on Maths Game and Word Game Questions and include several levels.

The site has a very clean design, it is fun and easy to use.

And for the more competitive kids, it allow to play games and to compete with other kids, win awards and collect virtual prices.

The registration is optional and safe.

No real names, just cool nicknames...
(I dare you challenge Silver Bat 468...)

Have fun,

Do The Math

Next time your kids would like to 'play' on your computer or iPhone, you could make sure they have one, or you could make sure they learn something new (while trashing you machine...).

http://www.thatquiz.org is a great website for teaching your kids Math.

Comment and warning :

http://www.thatquiz.org focuses on short, time based quizzes, on a variety of topics.
So, less explanation and more fun and getting points.
Make sure this would be good for your kids before you start with it.

Another option is http://www.gengarstudios.com.
BrainTuner is a great iPhone application (click the image for a direct link to the Apple store).
You can use it to stay sharp, or to prove to your kids that 3 hours sleep a night do not make you smarter...

A more generic brain/Math game is Brain Toot.

That should teach this kids a lesson...
