New websites designed specifically for kids

If you have kids, you know that the internet can be a pretty scary place with online predators, excessive or inappropriate advertising, the list goes on. However, kids today seem to be more internet savvy than a good number of adults I know, (actually, I am convinced it is now built right into their DNA) so it is important to find safe, age-appropriate websites where they can have fun while learning something new. Two new sites, KOL and KOL Jr., were recently brought to my attention, and I am very impressed with the content.

KOL (Kids Online) is loaded with activities and information for kids of all ages. The site includes categories such as cartoons and comics, movies and television, pets and animals, sports, style, and over 100 games.

KOL Jr. will be live this Thursday, and was designed for the youngest of web users, with content appropriate for two- to five-year-olds. Yes, they really do use the internet that young. This online playground is loaded with activities that are meant to involve both parent and child, including cartoons, games, music, stories, and a number of printable coloring pages. You can view a preview via this link, and as of Thursday the full site can be found at koljr.com.
