What Parents Need to Know

About Professor Garfield

Parents need to know that some of the items didn't always work very well on a Macintosh, using either Safari or Firefox. Parents will also be happy to hear that the sound can be toggled off and on. Families who visit this site will be "edutained" for a couple hours. Most of the games are for kids eight and up, although there are certainly activities for younger kids.
