Parents need to know that although kids younger than 4 can probably use this site with some simple pointing and clicking, we don't recommend kids that young going online. Based on the WGBH TV show and seen on Discovery Kids, the site offers fun family activities for both online and offline play.

The five games are the best part. They include "Bunny Balance," in which players observe several rabbits of varying weights. The object is to place them on a seesaw and try to get the seats to balance. "Hide and Peep" is a memory game. And estimating distance is important in "Hop to It," where players must assist a frog as he hops across a pond.

Great site for parents and kids
My two year old loves the interactive games. They make him laugh. He wakes up saying, "Peep." The activity articles are great. Overall a really terrific site.
