Age Range: 3 and up (Grades PreK and up; children with parental supervision)
Designed by a computer usability professional, Lil’ Fingers is a friendly website for the littlest computer users with free animated and narrated storybooks, interactive educational games, coloring pages – and a terrific archive of over 100 animal videos in their YouTube Zoo!
This site was designed with young children in mind, but the animal videos can be enjoyed by folks of all ages. When you get to the site, you’ll see a menu of “Animal Zones” including:
- African Region – See lions, eagles, hyenas, and more.
- Asia Adventure – View bears, hornbills, monkeys, and porcupines.
- Polar – Check out penguins, polar bears, reindeer, and a walrus.
- Elephant Jungle – Watch camels, capybaras, elephants, guanacos, etc.
- Forest Fun – Observe birds, owls, okapis, river otters, etc.
- Outback – Watch koalas, kangaroos, a monitor lizard and more!
As explained at the website, “All videos have been reviewed to not include animals mating, killing or bodily functions.” Plus, because you watch the videos on this website, you don’t have to be concerned about shielding your kids’ eyes from inappropriate comments that are sometimes posted by random visitors on the YouTube site. Some of the videos are no longer available but there are so many animals to choose from you’ll be sure to find something you’re interested in.
When you’re through watching videos, be sure to use the vertical menu on the left side of the screen to access the animated and narrated storybooks, play interactive computer games that teach as they entertain, and print out coloring pages that include the alphabet, numbers, shapes, animals, events, and much more!
