Parents need to know that there are links to PBS sponsors, including the manufacturers of Juicy Juice, Teddy Grahams, and the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant chain on the home page, but other than that, there is no commercial marketing to kids.
I used to play this website when I was younger. I remember liking the ice cream game a lot, playing it over and over again. Be warned, there are a lot of advertisements for the people who sponsor the show. Most of them are safe, from what I've seen.
I remember I used to play these games when I was younger! I was, and still am a big fan of Arthur, and would really reccomend these games to any kid, boy or girl. Even my friends little sister enjoyed these games, she started playing around 3. The games are educational without looking or feeling educational, plus they're fun, and simple to use for even the smallest 3 year olds who've just started using a computer . . . Awesome games!
