Resources for Parents from Funschool

For fun games and activities for your child, check out Funschool's website. The games here cover a large variety of topics that can help your child. For parents, there are crafts, family activities, recipes and a large number of printable pages, such as coloring pages and puzzles.

A typical game you and your child will find from Funschool is 'Michael, Michael, Go Recycle!' The object of the game is to help the 'Michael' character pick up garbage and prevent the littering bad guy from creating further damage. This game will not only help your child become more aware of the environment, but also develop his logic and strategy skills.

No matter what your child's interests and hobbies are, it's likely that Funschool has something to offer that will appeal to her. For example, there are princess-themed games and crafts you can complete with your child as well as word play activities.
