The Best Websites for Kids

By Christy Matte, About.com

Here are the sites highlighted in the Family Computing Weekly Websites for Kids for 2008. Enjoy!

HighlightsKids.com

This corresponding website to Highlights Magazine is a true gem. Aimed at kids through age 14, it will probably hold the most appeal for kids from 5-10. The site has many of the favorite features from the magazine, including interactive "hidden pictures" puzzles, comics, arts and crafts and games.

Edheads

Edheads is a science learning site focusing on concepts such as biology, physics and meteorology. If it sounds boring, it's not. You can take on the role of a police detective to explore the scene of a car accident. You can don some virtual scrubs to perform a virtual hip replacement or knee surgery. Or, you can attempt to forecast the weather. Each activity comes with support materials for educators and parents.
