Splendid Sites - Introduction

This post is to introduce you to the new Section in our MMM blog. And I am naming this section as Splendid Sites. 

I do browsing a lot for Medha to search various crafts and activities which are age appropriate for Medha. In that process, I had come across some beautiful websites for kids. Though I don't let Medha to use computer and playing games in mobile/laptop, I found some of them are excellent for learning with fun. And I guess some of them might help you find these to visit with your toddler/kids. Some of the sites are educational in nature and some are just plain fun!  

From today, every Friday I will be featuring a website here under Splendid Sites label. Please use this space to get to know lot of websites which you can visit with your kids instead of screening time. YES, I mean it. You can reduce their screening time by introducing these sites to them. Some of these sites are educational yet fun learning.

The two sites, UpToTen and Pekuboo,  that had been already featured earlier in the blog will be too tagged under this section. 

I hope you will enjoy this new section!! Stay tuned for more featured sites!

Website Review : Peekuboo

Peekuboo is a FREE interactive site for toddlers and parents that has online books that your child can read through. There are a variety of books and games.

Website Review : UpToTen.com

Uptoten is an elementary learning website with a delightful mix of games, activities, songs for children aged up to 10.

The website which is primarily bilingual – English and French – has an interesting history. It was started in 1997 by an Anglo-French couple – Veronique and Jason Barnard. Their initial idea was to create a CD-book for their little daughter, using their respective skills as musician and graphic designer. However, since they had no luck with any publisher seeing potential in this, they resorted to go online.

Each activity on the site is centered around two central characters – Boowa and Kwala. Boowa (the dog) is like the older friend, teacher or older brother and Kwala (the koala) is like the child. While Boowa demonstrates patience and understanding in his demeanor, Kwala is inquisitive, lovable and annoying at times. The relationship between the two is depicted very well throughout with Kwala trying her best in various situations and Boowa supporting and encouraging her. In fact, in its early days the website was called boowakwala.com and here in the Presentations section, you can get acquainted with these fun characters , see their family photo albums, do a puzzle etc.
