by littleones.com, on July 14th, 2010 Have you heard it yet? It's the sound of children searching for fun things to do during those long, hot summer days. When your child is stuck indoors on a rainy day or in the extreme heat, there's a valuable resource available at your fingertips. These superb educational websites for kids can turn computer time into learning time. Kids love computer games and now is your chance to break away from video arcade type games and switch over to "edutainment" websites. These sites provide creative games and kid-friendly lessons that promote problem solving abilities mixed in with loads of fun. These educational sites encourage thoughtful responses from participants, rather than focusing on keyboarding skills or lucky guesses. There are several quality sites available for children of varying ages and abilities.

by littleones.com, on June 20th, 2010 Beat the heat with some cool summer fun at your local movie theater. These free (or nearly free) children's summer movie programs are a great way to entertain your kids without spending a fortune. Participating theaters show select children's G or PG movies during the summer months on designated weekday mornings for free (or in some cases for a $1 donation or more.) You simply need to search for participating theater locations and check the summer schedule. Tickets and seating are always on a first-come, first served basis and are limited to the theater's capacity, so it is best to arrive early. Parents and guardians may or may not be charged a small fee for admission depending upon the rules of each program.
The National Amusements Bookworm is recommended because it has been designed to encourage children to read during the summer. In order to receive free admission to the movie, children must hand in a short book summary (approximately one paragraph) at the box office. Before the movie begins, prizes are awarded to children for outstanding book report entries. What a great incentive to read and write during the summer months! Not all summer programs require book reports for entrance to the movie, so make sure to check the details on cinema web sites.
Here are just a sampling of some of the main children's summer movie programs that are available. You may wish to search the web for additional movie programs in your area. It's definitely worth spending some time researching these awesome freebies. You just can't beat this affordable option for summer family fun & learning!
See the following links for more information regarding participating locations, movie schedules and specific program details:
