Bookadventure.com is a wonderful way of encouraging children to read. They read their favorite books, take a quiz, acquire points that are later used to receive prizes and gift certificates, etc. My daughter can’t wait to read another book. I had to limit how many quizzes she could take per day. I would love to find more sites that reward our children for reading!

A fun interactive site with all the bells and whistles! This website is designed to offer kids the virtual experience of working with clay and fiber crafts. Kids can build a virtual face jug, coil a pot, create a crazy quilt, weave a wacky wardrobe and much more. The site also includes brief video clips of actual kids doing the crafts for real. This site is tons of fun and a great introduction to traditional clay and fiber crafts (pottery, quilting, basketry & weaving)

This is my Dad’s site. He knows lots of string figures and I could do 28 when I was 6. There is a special page for kids called “Kid’s guide to 12 easy string figures.” String figures are lots of fun. Visit our site, it has pictures, or get a book from the library and see how many string figures you can learn to do.
