Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Kids build skills involving numbers, letters, colors, and object identification, as well as basic computer skills such as moving the cursor in the right direction, aiming, and clicking.The games were developed with professional educators and become progressively more challenging as your kid plays and improves.
  • User-created content:

    Not an issue.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The site is refreshingly ad-free, but does promote Noggin shows. The online subscription to access the sites costs between $5.95 and $9.95 a month depending on how many months you sign up for, but there's a 7-day trial option to check out the site before committing (a subscription to Nick Jr. Magazine is included).
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

How safe is it?

  • Personal privacy:

    Not an issue.
  • Online interaction:

    Not an issue.
  • Parental controls:

    Parents receive a detailed progress report on the activities their kids played, how long they spent on each game, and what was achieved.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About myNoggin

Parents need to know that this is a fun, personalized, advertising-free site offering preschoolers a selection of games and activities that will help them learn numbers and letters, build coordination and other skills, and develop their creativity. The games have several levels, and parents can monitor a child's progress or if he or she struggles in a certain area. The "do-togethers" section gives suggestions for games you can play with your child offline. Parental guidance is recommended to help preschoolers navigate the site, just because the youngest ones may be a little confused about where and how to click to get the results they want.
