Parents need to know that this bilingual site is a great destination for kids who speak or are learning French, although any kid will enjoy it. It's mainly for kids who can read simple directions and have mastered Web site navigation (using the back and play buttons, finding activities through layered choices, etc.); adults may need to help kids under 6 roam around. Banner and Google ads are present throughout the site, and merchandise is sold at the "Toy Shop." A premium version without ads is available for $6.60 per month and includes partial content in Spanish, Italian, and Dutch.
Educational value:Games are mostly educational. A good resource for French speaking kids and students of French.
The scary wary song made my 3 year old cry and she is not easily intimidated. She became very upset. I don't consider "fart" to be a bad word but I don't want my daughter going around singing it in a song either. She loves the site and I would let her listen to the other songs. I think parents should check the lyrics before allowing their children to listen. (You can do this on the site.)
An absolutely stunning site -- my daughter has been using this site (mostly Boowa and Koala) since she was not quite 4 -- highly educational and engaging -- she has learnt a lot. Highly recommended.
