Recently, Tallen and I were offered the exciting chance to test drive JumpStart Online and their new 3-D Virtual World. The target ages for this site are 3-10, but Ross (2) and Selly (12) also had a great time, when Tallen gave them a chance to play.
The virtual world provides your child with an exciting adventure and safe online play, while they learn at the same time. The key to learning is making it fun and JumpStart.com definitely fits the bill. Recently, the option for players to interact with one another has been added, but you can turn this option off, if you'd rather your child not have access to it.
I was also very impressed with the JumpStart blog ! I went there expecting to find post after post with updates about the 3-D world. That wasn't the case. I am very impressed with all the fun ideas and educational information that I found there. I will definitely be frequenting their blog.
Tallen took to the virtual world like a duck to water! He had a blast creating his own Jumpee! One thing I like about this process is that the kids are offered canned names to give their Jumpee, thus eliminating the chance of anyone accidentally using their own name or an inappropriate name.
He loved playing the games and earning points, then checking out where he stood in the Hall of Fame. He had a very easy time navigating from place to place. It was very similar to the Wii that he plays so often. He would have played for hours on end, had I not made him take a break!
