DD (7.5) would like some new/different websites to visit during summer holidays - fun, crafty, and educational sites desired please

[Earlybird]

In the past, we have compiled a list of suggestions from Mumsnetters/their dc, but haven't seen a list in a long time - so perhaps time to update with our latest finds?

What sites are your dc currently using/enjoying?

Thanks Malory. When you say BBC - do you mean cbeebies or something else?

tutpup.com is excellent for educational with a twist. DS1 addicted.

dd likes penguin club. Fun. (I enjoy going fishing!).

Dd's current favourites are:

poptropica www.poptropica.com
tiny planets www.tinyplanets.com
poisson rouge www.poissonrouge.com
polly pocket uk.pollypocket.com/home.aspx
paper doll dressing www.stardoll.com/en
barbie barbie.everythinggirl.com

We second poissonrouge.com

What's tutpup about? Any good for me in Kenya with an incredibly slow connection..

www.teachit.co.uk

tutpup is maths/spelling/english competitions on line - they are put head to head with people from all over the world and have a 30 second battle - and if they win the battle goes on a win-wall.

For all those with dds who love the Rainbow Fairies:

www.rainbowmagiconline.com/uk/index.html

Bumping for other ideas....
