Thank you for your comment Jens. Another cool idea, is that if you can not find a site, create your own website. Start a blog dedicated to kids, reading and writing. involve your daughter to find out what she enjoys reading and what her friends also enjoy.

Thanks a lot, this is a very interesting list. I have two kids, 6 years old and 3 years old. We’re Norwegian, so because of your list, I’m now looking for something similar in Norwegian. But my daughter (6 years old) is learning english in school, so I guess we can start using the websites on your list.

Thanks again.

Thanks Kat! You are way ahead of the game by recognizing the importance of the sites in the article. I am sure when the time comes, you will have a truck load of websites available to you which will encourage the creativity in your kid(s).

That’s excellent! I love to listen to my daughter speak. I have even more fun when she opens a book and starts to read. (She’s only two, and has no clue what the words mean) Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for your comments Chris. You are so right, “real life” does have the tendency to strip away your creativity. If you are able to lay the foundation when you are young, there is a better chance of keeping it alive.

Great article :)

I don’t have kids yet, but when I do, I hope websites like these are still around, because I definitely intend to encourage my kids to be as creative as their mummy (and their Daddy…I guess :P)

Thank you for this list. With a toddler and an infant, I’m always looking for links like this.
My son was able to say two new letters last night. It was a good night. ;)

Great article Giselle, really agree with what you’re saying. The Stone Soup site looks awesome – more children should be encouraged to write stories. Especially before “real life” in the adult world comes along and threatens to stifle their creativity.

Thanks Giselle!
