YesMag
Canada's Science Magazine for kids. A fun science and technology site
with feature stories, short reports, do-at-home projects, and other cool
stuff!
Children under the age of seven or eight generally do not have
the hand-eye coordination, mental understanding, or reading or spelling
skills to "surf the Net" by themselves. We STRONGLY
suggest that you enjoy this experience ALONG WITH your
children, rather than having them use the computer on their own.
The Web sites include basic math, language, interactive
reading, and other learning activities for children up to age eight. Some
sites may also provide activities for older children as well. They are a
collection of web sites, so some activities may be included on more than one
Web site.
Most of all -- learn but also have fun!!
