Best Websites For Kids

I have two kiddos at home that have recently become obsessed, and when I mean obsessed, I mean it, with Disney Channel shows. They have moved up from cartoons to the sitcom type shows and I have to admit, I’m not really liking it. I try to limit their television watching and instead encourage them to head outside to ride their bike or we head to a park, to get out the wiggles.

However, it’s not always possible to head outside to play, especially when the weather is not cooperating or the flu/cold bug, has hit home. On days like this, I prefer the kiddos to play on our home computer and not only be entertained, but also learn something. Providing them with the best setup and accessories within our budget is a priority. But before doing so, it’s advisable to read online reviews first, like that logitech m330 review.
