If you are looking for creative ways to spend time with your kids, I’ll tell you right here. Use technology. Growing kids are easily becoming addicted to technology and if you’re a parent, it’s very understandable that you consider internet as a big scary world for your kid. But, it doesn’t have to be. If you spend some time to do some research, you’ll find internet to be a wonderful resource to teach your growing monsters. The websites I have listed here are not only safe but offer educational value to kids. Even the parents would love them. (The websites are in no particular order)

Wonderopolis
Your kid will discover a new wonder everyday with Wonderopolis. Some of the intriguing questions that I found were: Does everyone has a funny bone? How do we remember?

A Mighty Girl
A Mighty Girl is my personal favorite. It’s full of stories of inspirational girls from around the world. It was founded by two American women who were tired of the struggle of finding the right gift for their niece. You’ll not only find books, but toys and movies for girls of all ages. Wonderful, wonderful resource!
