Fun for my 3 year old

If you kids love the Wiggles then it's a good site. The only downside is that you can't play most of the games unless you pay the monthly fee.

Is It Any Good?

The best part of Wiggletime is its educational element. On the whole, though, the site still seems a bit unfinished.For all of the size and color of the world, there is really not that much to doin each location (and very, very little to do without a paid subscription). Eachroom features three or four colorful items that would appear to be interactive,yet only a few of them really are. Also, of the games that are available, someare not as intuitive as they could be.

Another odd choice is that, in a gameclearly aimed at younger children, the in-game instructions are written formuch older children, if not solely for parents. A nice voice-over on the instructionswould solve this easily. In general, this is a site that appears to have itsheart in the right place, but has not fully realized its potential.

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.
