With the economy in its current recession mode, American families are looking for ways to cut back on spending.  Things like private lessons and supplemental enrichment activities for the kids are being trimmed from the family budget. Increasingly, parents are being forced to seek out low-cost ways to keep children entertained and learning at the same time.  The new buzz word for that is “edu-tainment,” and KidzClix.net delivers just that.

Learning + Fun

This new website has brought the fun back into learning.  KidzClix.net promises to keep children ages 7-12 “edu-tained” with a variety of new activities and creative projects such as cooking tutorials, math and science games, chess, Sudoku, and much more.  The subscription-based online magazine publishes two new issues per month, keeping boredom far away and giving kids a constant stream of new ideas to look forward to.  Parents and children alike will be excited to log onto the site and find over 30 new activities per month, including extension projects for kids and their families to try out at home with simple materials.  These activities are designed by experts in the teaching and academic field, including recipients of the prestigious Golden Apple Award.  Plus, they are kid-tested to ensure top-notch fun. 

Members can also submit original artwork, recipes and project ideas to KidzClix.net, giving children a feeling of accomplishment and pride.  It’s a tremendous resource for homeschoolers, providing a constant stream of creative activities to do at home and an opportunity to share their accomplishments with others.  Brothers and sisters will have fun figuring out puzzles and brain teasers together on a Friday evening, while also testing their math and science skills.  All of this is offered in a readable format, complete with colorful characters and kid-friendly features.  Parents will enjoy reading the comments by educators and experts in the field.  Plus, KidzClix.net offers more information and activities than a traditional subscription to a kids’ magazine – print or online. 

Low-Cost Entertainment

Kids can check out a free sample issue offered by the folks at KidzClix to give families a taste of the online magazine prior to committing to a subscription.  Log onto www.kidzclix.net, and your kids can play chess, make a shaving cream tower or try their hand at a step-by-step empanada recipe, among other activities in the Free Issue.  Cost for a subscription to KidzClix.net is an affordable $6.95 per month, with deep discounts for 3, 6 and 12 month subscriptions.  By comparison, an evening at the cinema for a family of four can cost as much as $50 if you add in popcorn and soda. And, most likely, the kids won’t walk away with an increased knowledge of fractions or reading comprehension.

Best of all, KidzClix.net can be enjoyed right in the privacy and safety of your own home.   And unlike many free kid’s websites with pop-up ads that can steer children to inappropriate or adult material, KidzClix.net promises to keep advertisers out of its members-only site. Subscriptions can be purchased directly online at http://www.kidzclix.net.  Gift certificates are available by calling toll free at 1-888-899-4583. Questions about KidzClix.net?  Call the toll-free number, or email them to info@kidzclix.net.

KidzClix CharactersKidzClix.net Is the “Smart” Holiday Gift Idea for Kids—Educational Games and Activities

That Creatively Engage Children Month After Month

KidzClix.net has announced the launch of its premier online “magazine,” designed for children ages 7-12, that includes over 30 new educational games, puzzles, kid’s crafts, and mind-boggling enrichment activities each month. It also includes its own social networking site (optional) with built-in security features to protect children.

Evanston, IL (PRWEB) December 11, 2008 – KidzClix.net has announced the launch of its premier online “magazine,” designed for children ages 7-12. It is bursting with educational games, enrichment activities, and much more. This translates into hours of creative fun for children at home. Parents of homeschoolers will find it to be a rich resource for learning activities. “It’s ‘edu-tainment’ at its best!” according to Daniel Ostenso, associate professor of Interactive Media at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. As a holiday gift idea intended to inspire and enrich, KidzClix.net is unparalleled.

Each month, subscribers to KidzClix.net receive two new issues loaded with educational games, math activities, science experiments, puzzles, kid’s crafts, things to build, chess, cooking, the amazing achievements of other children, and much more. The goal at KidzClix.net is to provide youngsters with activities that “inspire critical and creative thinking, foster originality, and develop imaginations.” It’s the ideal holiday gift idea that will help children grow throughout the year.

KidzClix.net subscribers can also access KidzConnect, an exclusive networking site designed with children’s online safety in mind. Subscribers who choose this optional feature can join in moderated online forums, chat rooms and message boards open only to KidzClix.net members. Here youngsters can connect with other children for homework help, sharing ideas and joining in discussions of interest to kids today. It’s a valuable feature for parents who would like more social interaction for their homeschoolers. KidzConnect is compliant with COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act) and its diligent staff of moderators makes it a top priority to maintain the safety and security of their members.

The site is a superb holiday gift idea, a way to enrich children by providing them with an array of educational games, math activities, science experiments, puzzles, and kid’s crafts developed by educators affiliated with a program with a proven track record of success.

KidzClix.net is the creation of staff members at the Center for Gifted, founded at National-Louis University in Chicago. Since 1983, the Center for Gifted has offered innovative hands-on enrichment programs for school children, including homeschoolers, throughout the Chicago area and currently serves over 4,000 youngsters.

“As an educator, I was frustrated by the many websites that are a waste of a child’s time,” says Cheryl Lind, an educational psychologist and the founder and president of KidzClix.net. “I wanted to provide a place where kids could have fun as well as grow intellectually.” Lind says she was inspired by the thousands of children she has seen benefit over the years from the Center for Gifted programs. “I wanted them to have access to creative, hands-on activities they could enjoy at home,” she explained, adding that many of the “meaningful activities” available at KidzClix.net come from the Center’s best teachers, including several Golden Apple winners.

Lind joined forces with Mike Gorelick, a web designer and former science teacher, and the two spent the next two years developing the unique learning-based online magazine and networking site. “We are a safer online destination for kids,” says Gorelick, vice-president of KidzClix. “There is a real need for quality children’s websites, and I believe our graphics, interactivity, and educational content fill that need. Combining these features with structured social networking capabilities makes KidzClix.net cutting edge.”

KidzClix.net is a unique holiday gift idea without the hassle of shopping or shipping. Cost for a subscription is $6.95 per month. Three-month, six-month and one-year subscriptions are discounted. When you visit their website at www.kidzclix.net, your child can preview a free issue and try over 30 different educational games, experiments, puzzles, kid’s crafts and more. Personalized gift certificates are available by calling 888-899-4583

As one of the most famous of all detectives, you are not a stranger to strange cases. However, this case is most baffling. In the graveyard is a secret entrance to a hidden crypt where stolen jewels were hidden over 100 years ago. But the tombstones look a lot alike. It could take years to find the right one! And you don’t have the time. Your mission must be completed by sunrise, or the clues will disappear. However, rumors have it that the bandits left secret instructions along the way if you know where to look. You also heard that they left booby traps along the way to discourage detection. However, you know something that others don’t. You overheard a strange conversation that you believe is the first clue (adults often say things in front of children assuming incorrectly that you won’t understand, which is quite an advantage!).

Drag and drop the straws and shaving cream on to the stage to build a Shaving Cream Tower. The real laws of gravity have been calculated so be carful that gravity doesn’t make it “all fall down!” When you’re finished building or have run out of materials, click the big red button to turn on gravity and see how well you’ve built your tower. Good luck and remember, the laws of gravity apply!
