Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood - A Great Website for Kids and Adults

Educational, Games, Creative, TV

All

Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS Kids is a wonderful way to introduce your kids to favorite Mr. Rogers moments, including songs, "field trips," and even a journey into the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. There are printables, recipes, plenty of games and lots of things to click on and explore. The site requires no reading skills for basic navigation, so it's also a nice introductory site for younger kids. Activities reinforce simple science, literacy, art and social studies concepts, just like the show itself. "Parent Tips" on each page help adults understand the educational concepts behind each activities. Simply fantastic!

My only complaint about this site, and it's a small one, is that a number of the pages have easily accessible print buttons on them. I prefer an option to display a printable page that an adult can then print through the browser. It's just too easy for kids to accidentally click on the print button as they play around and waste large amounts of paper in the process.
