Tricycling Down the Information Super-Highway

Maggie's favorite website. If you don't mind a blue singing dog (Boowa) who's best friends with a little gold koala bear with a French accent (Kwala), this site has some fun/harmless songs and games that really get Mags' interest. Suddenly, she can use a mouse and actually be successful at a number of the games and activities. When we found the site (probably almost a year ago), she was mostly into the songs, but she has since developed the motor skills needed to use the mouse, a few extra ounces of patience with herself, and an interest in the games and activities.

I like the site because, well, who doesn't like a blue dog and a gold koala? Also, they're not princesses or goofy red furry monsters and the site seems to have a more international perspective (which I think is a good thing). If you're interested, you can even change the languages that Boowa and Kwala use. There's a free version (with ads) or a premium version (no ads). We might upgrade to premium someday. For now, avoiding the ads just means Mags has to learn to control the mouse more effectively.
