Inspirational kids websites and stuff like that

As you know I also write for Dutchcowgirls.nl, about my area of expertise in kids & online. Here's some stuff I've posted up there lately and links to the articles (in Dutch, sorry!) and also to the sites for your inspiration.

A somewhat older site, but still inspirational is the Dutch site "Het Grote Ontbijtspel". It is a site that teaches kids that breakfast should be part of their daily routines. Developed in 2007, I still find it a good example of how you can bring across a certain message to kids. Visit the website or read the Dutch article here.

Very recent: we (Nickelodeon Netherlands) have launched a new game for the Dutch series Het Huis Anubis, together with the Media Monks. Read the Dutch article here or play the game (which is more fun anyway).

Another recent Nickelodeon launch is the website for our live studio show called SuperNick. The website has been something we've wanted to improve for quite a while, but now we finally had the time and manpower to invest. The new site is a big hit already. Mostly connected to the TV show, it brings kids all kinds of (interactive) content around SuperNick and it's hosts. See the website here or read the article.

Also a Dutch website I wrote an article on is "Spangas De Film" (Spangas the movie). As online is an important part of their communication strategy, they've built a whole new website for kids to get into the world of Spangas. The 'regular' TV show is a big hit in Holland btw. Visit the movie website at Spangasdefilm.nl, the other website at spangas.nl or read the article at Dutchcowgirls.nl.

I seem to be clinging to Dutch websites lately, since another one I wrote about is also one of them: Taptoe - a magazine in Holland that is distributed through schools. It has chosen for a more crossmedia approach lately, so was quite an interesting one to look into. Visit the website via this link.

This is a great site! I love using Squidoo to find stuff for my kids to read, watch, learn and play online. I found a great index of kids websites on Squidoo. It has info on E-Learning, games, kids TV and software. Keep it up!
