Other Fun Sites for Kids

This is a small selection of cool poetry sites and other fun sites for kids. There are certainly plenty of websites for kids to choose from, but these are a few that I happened to stumble upon and found I particularly liked. If you find a really great website for kids that you think should be included here, let me know and I'll have a peek at it.

Andrea Shavick

Children's poems about school, space, people, history, pocket money and much more. The gruesome, bloodthirsty, yucky section is particularly good and 'Grandma was Eaten by a Shark' unmissable.

Silkysteps

Silkysteps is a really fantastic site packed full of activities for the under fives. The website offers creative play downloads, colouring pictures, paper crafting and educational resources aimed at the early stages of a child's life.

Potty Poems

Features funny poems by Gez Walsh, Chris White, Andrew Collett, Celia Warren and others. A definite bias towards schoolboy/lavatory humour, but what's wrong with that?

Giggle Poetry

The home of Bruce Lanski and any number of guest poets. You get a chance to rate the poems, enter competitions and learn how to write limericks and nursery rhymes.

Ken Nesbitt

Funny poetry, a fan club and a potentially very useful series of 10 lessons on how to write funny poems, which unfortunately stops after lesson 4. Expect to write lots of half-funny, half-finished poems until he completes the series.

Linda Knaus

Really very funny poems, including a quite a few about school, but the biography page is rather gooey and might make you sick and she has the least memorable URL in the universe.
