Is It Any Good?

The site is a good quick source of holiday-themed craft ideas, like creating an Easter bonnet and decorating a gingerbread house. There is also a monitored chat room and a discussion forum. These features use a structure provided by a third party DelphiForum. Unfortunately, it's very easy to leave the safe kid-oriented environment and stray into places meant for adults.
