There are many free, fun sites on the web that are also safe for our grandchildren. When the grandkids come over, they always want to spend time at the computer playing games and finding activities to do. I don’t buy any software - no need to. There are many to choose from just a few clicks away. Below is a list of safe websites that my grandchildren enjoy. (Don’t tell them, but I do too!) They offer crafts, games, activities, stories, and more plus a few have free offers, too.

Most of the time, the best fun is free!
