  • Consumerism1
    The only advertisements or products on this site are cross-promotional items such as National Geographic Little Kids magazine or the National Geographic Kids Web site. Some characters from PBS programming -- Toot & Puddle, Mama Mirabelle -- are also featured in various videos, but require a link to the National Geographic Kids site that is equally as clean but skews to slightly older elementary-aged kids.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking0

  • Privacy & safety0
    The site doesn’t make use of personal information unless it's to respond to a one-time request question or request for information from a child, to allow a child to send an ecard to a friend or to award prizes in a game or sweepstakes. Information is not shared with third parties. Anyone can visit the site and access the games, activities and videos, and parents are encouraged to participate in their child’s online experience.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this preschooler-friendly site provides a variety of games, activities and videos and encourages exploration of the world and nature. Like its companion print magazine (National Geographic Little Kids), this site gives little kids a safe spot to learn about animals, geography, and science. Its simple games and activities include easy-to-follow audio instructions that even the tiniest visitor can follow and enjoy, though younger users may need some assistance from an adult. There’s plenty on this easy-to-navigate site to keep kids interested, but not so much that it’ll be hard to pry them away.
