chai Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I need some good, safe, fun websites for my 9-year old daughter. It doesn't need to be educational, just not trashy or dangerous. Educational sites are good too, but I'm looking for this for her free time. And since I'm asking the question, how many of your kids use Webkinz and what do you think of it. I haven't succumbed yet, but so many of her friends have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 They are so cute. I was going to suggest this for you. It is really a nice site. All the dialogue is scripted. There are quizzes, games, and the real draw money managment. You are given so much money and one room to start with your pet. You have to feed your pet and make sure it stays happy and healthy. You get to dress them up and design the house and furnish the rooms. You can even garden. Lots of fun. We're all addicted to Cow Cash here. I would set a firm time-limit though because it is easy to lose track of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle T Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 He spends way too much time there, and it seems that a lot of his IRL friends love it too. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chai Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 This gives me some great places to start! I'm really wavering on webkins; I think I may take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The American Girl website is great - really fun games. My sons and I even play on their sometimes. I like that it isn't an addictive type of site. She plays on it about 1/2 hr. a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
