Exploring the World

One thing I’ve noticed about educational websites for kids: a lot of adults like them, too. Well, at least this adult does. For the second time in a row, it’s taken me much too long to post a review because I’ve gotten lost in the site. And by that, I mean “gotten lost” in a totally good way.

I took a trip over to the National Geographic for Kids website and figured I’d pick one interesting topic for my focus. Impossible! Everything about that site is fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the story about the bats that come out during the summer in Texas. I kept thinking that I’d have to cover up with some high quality volcom clothing if I lived anywhere near that cave with millions of bats showing up every evening. I just don’t like the idea of those bats swooping down around my head.

There’s so much more to explore at National Geographic for Kids, though. Having watched every Little Foot cartoon as well as Diego’s Dinosaur Adventure more times than I can count, I headed right over to the Dinosaur quiz and then topped it off with the pre-historic Sea Monstor Brainteaser.

Of course, there are other activities and stories as well as games and activities. Whether you homeschool your kids and need a great resource or just want to supplement their regular school learning and give them a worthwhile website to explore, do check out National Geographic for Kids. And if you happen to spend hours there without the kids, I won’t tell.
