Nickjr.com keeps my child entertained.
By Steph W on Oct 11, 2010
I really like how they have organized the various sites. My son’s favorite is the PBS site (we don’t have cable and so PBS and qubo are all that he knows.)
By Heather on Oct 11, 2010
Starfall by far is my child’s favorite site! It’s a great first site for kids where it shows children where to click and is interactive yet fun. My daughter said her kindergarten class used starfall during computer lab. She was so proud to show the other kids around
By Soroya on Oct 11, 2010
FunBrain is my daughters favorite.
By Selena on Oct 11, 2010
I like EverythingGirl. Oh, so does my daughter. Nice layout to the website too.
By Beth on Oct 11, 2010
Just bookmarked it! So much cool stuff for both of my children and for me and my classroom. Thanks for introducing it! It was easy to navigate for my youngest who is an emerging reader. She could use it independently. She spent the most time on the Games for Girls area and the Animal Shelter game.
By Melissa B on Oct 11, 2010
My son loves the Disney website!
By sally on Oct 11, 2010
Starfall is great! This visual layout is a great idea…
By Joel on Oct 11, 2010
NatGeo Kids. Lots of videos on there, and the games are fun, too!
By Robin on Oct 11, 2010
I like Starfall
I haven’t started my son using it yet but I think from looking around there that he would enjoy it and it is about the right learning level for where he is at now.
By Kristine on Oct 11, 2010
We love cartoon network and disney. Since discovering Springo we also like the Harry Potter site!
By amy on Oct 11, 2010
we love the sesame street site! I really like how they have all the sites organized. I knew many of them, but I found some new ones as well which is really nice. I used to need to search to find these, but if the site is bookmarked it is super easy to find them now.
By Katie on Oct 11, 2010
Love it! Sesame Street is my favorite, but I am going to check them all out. I have 3 year old grandkids and it is wonderful to have a resource like this.
By SP on Oct 11, 2010
We have a split decision in my house. Depends on who you ask. My daughters 9 and 11 love Everythinggirl.com- Good, clean fashion fun for girls! And the 4 year old boy and mom love Starfall.com- Good basic learning there!
By Christina Z on Oct 11, 2010
I like the Just for Girls channel and the Discovery Girls. This is very cool. Love it.
By Jamie on Oct 11, 2010
Starfall has always been a family favorite… Nick Jr is a close second.
This is a great resource and I have already bookmarked it… I do wish that it links to kid friendly playable, rather than just homepages in the future.
By Samantha on Oct 11, 2010
I shared this website with my staff at school. They absolutely love it! It gives them peace of mind when students are navigating on the internet. With springo.com kids are able to navigate through the internet safely, securely, and most importantly independently! I would have to say pbs.org is my favorite website. This site gives so many options to all ages and abilities. You can work on colors, shapes, map skills, literacy, numeracy skills all with the kids’ favorite characters! Great job springo!
By Melissa on Oct 11, 2010
I love Starfall too!
By JoDee on Oct 11, 2010
I love that the girls can search for their favorite Disney shows without searching youtube.

I pulled up the website and my daughter was so excited that all of our favorite websites were in one place. Our favorite is Primarygames.com
By Kristen on Oct 11, 2010
We love Starfall also. I also like coloring-book.info. I print out the pages my kids want (usually characters they are interested in at the moment), 3-hole punch them, and put them in a 3-ring binder to make cheap coloring books. Love the layout of the Springo kids site – I bookmarked it!
By Brandi M. on Oct 11, 2010
I’m so excited about this. I’m an elementary technology school teacher and I can’t wait to introduce this to our teachers and students.

The site is very user friendly and now we can access so many fun sites all at once! It would be hard to decide on a favorite, but we definitely like starfall for reading prep. We are excited to try more sites.

My 5yo loves Starfall…because they use it at school and she can keep practicing at home.
By PinchingAbe on Oct 15, 2010
I liked multiplication.com because they have timed tests that self-correct. I know my 9 yo needs to brush up on that.
Thanks for the chance!

I liked the ABCteach. I really liked the free materials with the worksheets. I will definitely use that. Springo made it onto my favorites and I liked how they organized by gender and age. Very usable.

PBS Kids is a good one, but I like several. It is hard to choose…
