by Crystal
Kaboose.com (
www.kaboose.com) is a website that the whole family can enjoy. Here you will find help and ideas on just about anything. The children will enjoy the different games (they have a section on computer games for the Mac), crafts, and clip art. Parents will enjoy the message boards, tips on health, recipes, crafts, party ideas, and much more. Moms even have a special section.
Each day Kaboose has something new for children and parents. In the Healthy Kids section you will find loads of information from a healthy home to how handle the cold and flu season. Here you will also find information on fitness for Mothers and children.
Have you ever had a unhappy child that wanted to do something fun, and you had no ideas about what to do? This site has loads of ideas and suggestions. How about making homemade play dough, or any other of the many ideas that they have? Each section has message boards, so if you do not find what you are looking for, you can ask.
Now to the fun stuff - games for the computer, and better yet for your Mac. They have a list of many games and you will find them by age group or by type of game. With this section you and your child can have many hours of fun.
They also have many games that you can play online. One such game is called Planet Pursuit, where they send you to different planets to get a probe. You need to collect five different probes and you have to battle your way to the planet, by blasting the rocks and other things coming your way. Once you are on the planet you have to find your probe and then go through a maze to answer the question for you to be able to retrieve the probe. I had a lot of fun playing the game and I think your 7-10 year-old will enjoy this game as well. You learn a lot about our solar system and other planets. Just an added note, this game played very well in Safari, so it’s a good online game to play on your Mac.
So check out Kaboose and start getting ideas.
