How to get a Jumpstart

Rarely do I find an online site that I completely approve of and let my kids use without worry, but Jumpstart has definitely been one of them this past year. I have no fear of predators attempting to contact them through their characters and I have no fear that what they are seeing will somehow be inappropriate for them - such as the ads that are shown on some other "kids" sites. Nope. Jumpstart has fulfilled my every expectation and hope.

1. It's Safe
2. There's a learning element to it.
3. It's a blast!


My girls (especially the 9 year old) really like playing at Jumpstart.com. In fact, even the kids I babysit love to play there. There is just so much to do there - games to play, adventures to go on, things to explore - that it's never boring. And I love that the folks over there are constantly adding to and changing up the worlds the kids can explore. It's never static. The younger girls here like to dress and redress their Jumpees (the people they get to be int he Jumpstart worlds) like dolls before they take them out on adventures. The older kids like to do the actual adventures and solve the puzzles.


I asked Cara why she liked Jumpstart so much and she had this to say:

Why I like jump start by Cara

Now they have a ride store where you buy rides and you get to ride your ride . you go a lot faster

And they have a stadium and a pet store and a concert place and dragen place and you have a naberhood (sic)

And you have hunts to find stuff And you get to go to lands like adventure land

I like everything there

Well that’s it

Guess I can't really sum it up better than that, eh? I can add one more thing that *I* like about it - Jumpstart has a Blog where they list Tips, Hints & News that I have found very helpful.
