WebbliWorld prides itself on being kid-safe
With intelligent and inquiring. minds, children demand a large and evolving environment to retain their interest and facilitate their desire to search and WebbliWorld is a free safe site for kids featuring games, jokes, competitions, video, news, friends and more.
Play, watch, and explore
This site allows kids to log in and create an alter ego called a Webbli. The kids can create their own unique design and then add information about their personal likes and dislikes. The Webblis can then interact with one another by rating one another and sending messages.
Games
There’s nearly 150 simple flash games on the site, many with commercial advertisements. There’s a few other places on the site where kids can find activities and ideas for doing things off the computer– visiting museums and being active in sports.
More stuff to do
- Besides the games, there a cinema with various simple Quick Time movies.
- There are also a number of different places that lead kids to different web sites on topics of interest like gardening, arts and crafts, pets, famous people, magic, and others.
Moms will LOVE this!
The site has a clear policy about including adult, rude, or otherwise inappropriate material for kids. Every page also has access to a link to report inappropriate content for all users.
Here’s what the developers have to say
- We take every possible precaution to make WebbliWorld a safe world.
- Children must create and name a character who represents them. This protects their identity, promotes creativity and, let’s face it, is much more fun! As part of our safety procedure, every user who registers is required to provide certain personal details and an authentic email address. We treat these details as confidential and never pass them on to a third party.
- All content that is added to WebbliWorld by users is moderated by an external, specialist moderation company and by the staff of WebbliWorld.
- We have a strict code of practice that applies to every user of WebbliWorld. Any user not abiding by the WebbliCode will be removed from the site.
- WebbliWorld is designed to enrich your children’s lives and expand their horizons. We encourage them to leave their computer as often as possible and explore the amazing world around them. As the site grows it will embrace a global community of kids and give them a voice on topics that really matter to them.
