Online Dress Up Games for Girls

My daughter loves to play online dress up games. I have to give her a time limit or she’ll be on there all day. I’ve created a website called Fun Dress Up Games and it’s a safe place, with clean games, for young girls to come and dress up dolls, create room scenes, dress up their favorite celebrity and tons of animal dress up games.
I created this website because there is SO much junk out there and I wanted my daughter to have a place to "play" that I felt comfortable with.
So, come on over and play! Be sure …read more

I’ll have to be honest here…I’ve never heard of Holly Claus before and have definitely never heard the story. I received an email about a website HollyClaus.com and I’ve been checking it out. I plan on having my kids take a look at it too and explore the world of Holly Claus.

I Want a Zibbie!

My inbox has been flooded with news of Zibbie Zone.
My eight year old son and I decided to check it out last night and his eyes were as big as saucers. The website was adorable (well, his words were “cooooooollllll”) and it instantly grabbed your attention. I literally felt like I was in the Zibbie Zone world. I think what grabbed me was a combination of the voice and the graphics. Also, is the Zibbie hair not absolutely hilarious?! The one pictured here is Zibbies Billy The Red Eyed Tree Frog
So, what is Zibbie Zone all about? …read more

How cute would this little Webkinz reindeer look under the tree? This is one of Amazon’s hot toys right now.
My kids are still Webkinz crazy and are having a blast buying items for their virtual rooms. I think I might snatch up one of these reindeers and use it as Christmas decor.

I mentioned the other day how we have joined the Webkinz craze a little late, but nevertheless, my kids are still having a blast with them. I promised you a picture or two after we got them all dressed up, so here you go. (Oh, and I also promise NOT to post pictures of my kids on here everyday. This one was just too cute though, lol!)
As you can see we’ve got a biker Beagle, a basketball playing Cocker Spaniel and a very stylin’ Chihuahua. My kids are in the process of building their Webkinz a house made out of cardboard …read more

I know Webkinz is old news and Kerri and Hsien did several posts about the whole craze and what a craze it was!
We joined the craze late and are just now experiencing what Webkinz is all about. I actually tried getting my kids interested in it when it first came out, but my two older ones thought it was a little babyish. I mean hello, it’s a stuffed animal mom.
My daughter and I were in Justice for girls the other day and she saw a Webkinz Chihuahua and decided to spend her allowance on it. It is a cute …read more
Hasbro Spider-Man Website

Filed under Internet for Kids
Whenever there’s a dress-up day at my son’s school, at least three or four boys show up wearing Spider-Man* costumes. The weirdest ones have padding in the chest to simulate muscles. Blech! If you’ve got a Spider-Man lover in your home, s/he might like the Hasbro Spider-Man website. Joseph Szadkowski of The Washington Times reviews the site in detail.
After a look at the opening screen, which shows action-figure versions of Spider-Man and his black costumed equivalent swinging around and staring at each other’s reflection (just like the current movie posters), a great starting point is the Action Toy Arena.
Within a …read more
