In the \"School\" area you can explore sites that will help you with your homework.

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.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
