A dozen cool places on the Web to take your favorite kids. Free amusements, games, online stories and fun for children and adults to share.
Every (old) Video Game - Here you'll find not every, but tons of old video games, playable online, free. With or without grandkids, you'll revisit this more than once!
Free ebooks. Tom Sawyer, Wind in the Willows - thousands of downloadable classic audiobooks. Sit back, feet up, snuggle with your favorite kid and listen to a great read.
Google Earth - If you haven't hooked up here yet, you are missing something special. A very easy download gets you started. See how the birds see your planet - including your own back yard. When a special girl of mine joined the Navy and was ordered to Spain, she said, "Wow! I always wanted to see South America!" Help a kid learn geography. Spend time on this site, learning all it can do - hours of amazement.
Frenchtoast Girl - Got a little girl in your family? Here's virtual paper dolls to play with. Click the icon in the left margin. More paper dolls at Zwinky.
Atomic clock - my favotie timepiece on the Internet.
Lego online requires an activeX control and Shockwave, but you can build virtual Lego toys by following patterns.
Etch-a-sketch online. Lose yourself in creativity.
Backyardigans coloring pages. Preschoolers to about first grade.
Word puzzles - more for grandma and grandpa, but fun for advanced kids, too.
M&M Morph - Transform yourself into an M&M - who could resist? An impressive array of body parts (sort of like Mr. Potato head). When you've created your perfect personality you can make movies, post cards, letterhead and whatever.
