Best Websites for Kids“Mom, can I play on the computer?” I’m sure I hear that at least once a day from each of my children. Fortunately, there really is a lot of good internet content for kids. Here is the More4kids list of what we think are some of the best websites for kids, whether you want craft projects, educational content, or just plain fun.
AskForKids is a search engine geared for children. Your child types in a question and the engine provides answers to read through.

Sparktop has games, painting, and learning activities. Kids can earn SparkPoints and “buy” stuff at the SparkMart. There is also a message board area. Sparktop is specifically designed to help kids who have learning difficulties, but it has fun stuff all kids can enjoy. Parents must register their children and children cannot share personal information.

Below are links to sites put out by some of your children’s favorite television networks and shows. Commercial, yes, but they have fun, educational, age-appropriate games.
Still haven’t found what you are looking for? These web sites list great web sites for kids. Your kids could no doubt explore different topics and categories for hours (if you let them and don’t chase them off the computer to go play outside).
If you are a parent or educator and your favorite website is not listed on our list, scroll down to the bottom of this page and share your favorite with us.
