Discovery Kids  This spin-off of the Discovery Channel
will captivate any curious child with its supply of projects, adventures, and articles about the world around us.
Don’t miss the Automatic Adventure Personality Profile, which lets kids personalize the site and get a list of
fun adventures that are well suited to their particular interests. This site makes you wish you were a kid again.
Disney.com  Disney.com, part of the newly leisure-focused
GO Network, is a very interactive site, with many different activities for kids as well as content for parents,
most of which, of course, is geared toward marketing Disney’s plethora of products and characters. The games are
written in Shockwave and load fairly quickly (you can play another game while waiting for the one you want). For
complete access to the site, you must pay to join Disney’s Club Blast, but much of Disney.com’s content is available
to nonmembers.
SuperFamily.com  Want to set up a Web
site so your extended family can exchange photos, news, and calendars? This is the place to do it, where free sites
are a breeze to set up and maintain. (You get 15MB of storage and can pay for more.) Most notable are the photography
tools, but you can also make a family newspaper, share shopping and wish lists, hold discussions, and trade e-mails.
The company also maintains SuperFriends.com, for groups of friends who aren’t necessarily related.
SurfMonkey Kids Channel  Parents who worry about
where their kids go on the Web should take a look at this fun and family-friendly Web directory. Every link is
guaranteed to be great for kids, and you can add the SurfMonkey Bar, a compact “cybershield” that sits at the bottom
of Internet Explorer window. SurfMonkey even has its own kid-friendly browser to make sure that the little ones
never wander off the straight and narrow.
