City Creator
-
"On this site, you play part overlord, part urban planner --without worrying about recriminations or bureaucratic red tape to hamper your grand plan. With a simple-as-pie UI, the site lets you drag and drop pieces of your city onto a blank canvas. Choose from medieval, modern, and winter wonderland motifs, then pick from a toolbox of all the architectural goodies you'll need -- turrets and gables, paved roads, and even igloos to build your municipal
masterpiece. Placed a wrong turn in the road? No problem, drag and drop your mess into a dump truck and start all over. Turn night into day, mountains into molehills, all with a point and click of your index finger. When you're satisfied, save your city and show it off to friends."

Kratt Brothers.com
-
"If there's an animal-loving kid living in your house, then you are probably acquainted with Chris and Martin Kratt,the sibling hosts of two popular PBS kids' shows, "Kratts' Creatures" and "Zoboomafoo." This site is the Kratt brothers' own site, where their philosophy of kid empowerment and creature adventuring (learning about animals, the environment and outdoor life) reigns. The site offers facts and clips about animals, information on the goings-on at the Creaturefuge (an animal refuge), and a place where kids can become a Creature Hero team member and make a difference in animals' lives. There's also an animal guessing game and tips for making a difference right in your own neighborhood (by building bat houses, for example). Fun stuff for kids."
