Crayola's online companion to its print magazine features fun activities, facts and projects. On our last visit, we read cool dinosaur trivia, learned how to bake dino cookies and created drawings of our favorite 'sauruses and 'rexes. Kids can submit drawings to hang in the online gallery. Or they can color their day in brilliant shades with this great selection of recipes, art, education and entertainment. Each issue, readers get a selection of recommended Web sites chosen for overall interest and educational value.
Students write brief reviews of their selections.
And although this is only a directory, its intentions are admirable and the content valuable. Among the play activities are coloring, mazes and guessing games. Featuring 30 educational games in eight subjects, this vibrantly animated site is a fun place for kids in kindergarten through high school to improve their math and language skills. This site's strength is its balance of educational games with activities that are just plain fun. Moms and dads can swing by The Parent Corner for more play ideas, while teachers can surf Funcorner for free downloadable classroom activities.
